Happy Monday to you! Hope everyone had a nice weekend. Things were good here, other than the rain on Saturday which ruined the craft fair. Better luck next time, I guess! The weather has been really nice since then and hopefully we'll get a chance to be outside some today!
I have a card to share that I created for the Whimsy Challenge which is Fun Fall colors. You can use any color combination you want that reminds you of fall. I went with orange, yellow, and brown.
I'm not totally crazy about how this one turned out. Not sure the papers and colors all match great, but it is what it is! I think when you don't stamp for over 3 days you lose a bit of mojo! Hopefully I can get mine back later today. I've got quite the stamping list!I've used the sketch from Stamp with Fun and some retired SU papers. I distressed the edges and added a couple torn areas too. I did a little cleaning the other day and organized my stuff. Boy do I have a lot of paper! I'm such the hoarder, that I forget that I even have some of this pretty stuff!
The image is Whimsy Giraffe from our animals collection. He's been colored with Copics in yellows and browns. Then I distressed the edges of the white paper and added some brown ink with a sponge. I also added some eyelets. Did you know that the Crop-a-Dile can bite! It bit me this morning, gave me a nasty pinch! Ouch!
This card also fits the challenges at Our Creative Corner which is Happy Fall Y'all and LaLa Land of distressing. Thanks for stopping on by. I'm off to find some mojo and do more stamping!
Happy stamping!

I love it Denise! Love the tall panels by the side of the giraffe they set him off perfectly, and the flowers add just enough of a splash of colour, gorgeous!
