Another Challenge Card

I can't believe I'm posting a second card in one day but I just couldn't help myself. I intended to watch the Germany/Canada game (Olympics men's hockey) but the fates (my husband & kids) conspired against me. The first period viewing went well but then everyone got home. I knew my viewing was at risk when DH said "any ideas for supper?". So the second period of the game passed in a blur of cooking dinner, waiting on the children and listening to complaints of "I don't liiiiiiike that". The third period was looking promising though (and Canada was well ahead) but there was homework to help with and stories to read. Next thing I knew the game was over and I'd missed pretty much the entire thing.

Oh well, I used that disappointment as my excuse to try out this image from Stampotique and the colour palette (mossy green, rose, yellow) for this week's challenge was just so pretty that I knew it would cheer me up.


I'm actually entering this card into several challenges (everyone has spring colours on the mind):
As usual, I've used Basic Grey papers; this time the series is from "Indian Summer". The image is from Stampotique Originals and is coloured with Copics. The stamps they carry are just so unique but I haven't found anyone locally who carries them - this means a month or more wait anytime I order one (which luckily reduces the impulse purchases a bit).
