In a Sweet Pea Dream Challenge - November 2011

Over at the In a Sweet Pea Dream Challenge Blog this month the topic is "create a thankful project using fall colours".  Well for me autumn/fall provides us with a wonderful array of colours including brown, green, blue, orange, reds and yellow.
For my card I have used the Sweet Pea Stamp by Ching Chou-Kuik called "Midnight Waiting".  I have coloured her with Promarkers, added a touch of Sakura Stardust clear pen, chalked the background, really distressed around the edge of the image with my Tim Holtz distressing tool and then used a green chalk ink pad around the edge.  The backing papers are from the Prima Botanicals Collection which are of wonderful quality - too nice to use really but it has to be done.  I have kept the card simple with just some simple matting and layering, two ribbons, crochet flower, Craftwork Cards sentiment and two Papermania Glitterations (I love these but can only find these for sale where I am charged £1.00-£1.50 postage per sheet and when they only cost a £1.00 that's too much.  I spied some at the NEC at bought them but now wished I'd bought some more).  I have tried to keep this card very simple - which is certainly a challenge for me and many other crafters!!!
