Good morning, another week gone- we're heading towards autumn really quickly now, kids will be returning to school in just over a week and the days are already getting noticeably shorter. I'm hoping to get a few more 'garden' days in before the summer ends- nothing like a good read sitting outside in the fresh air! It's great now that the libraries have reopened and I don't have to worry about running out of books!
This week the challenge theme at Sweet Stampin' is 'doodling'- now I love a bit of doodling so thought I'd join in with Team Wends and share this card. I succumbed to temptation and bought this cute stamp by Aall &Create ( a couple of others and some stencils leaped into my basket when I wasn't looking, you know how it happens). Anyway I created the background using my gelli plate, distress inks and one of the stencils. The images are coloured with copics and fussy cut (just love the bunnies!) I stuck them on the background and stamped the sentiment- it looked a bit bare so I doodled the border with a black fineline pen.
AS always the Sweeties have come up with some wonderful ideas (even the doodle-phobic ones!) so do hop over and take a peek. We'd love to see your doodles too- just remember to stamp something as well.
Thanks for visiting,
have a good weekend
Chris

Great card Chris, love the background stencil and colours, cute image and super doodling. It’s absolutely lashing down rain here at the moment so definitely no reading outside today and like you I don’t like the way the nights are drawing in so quickly. Enjoy your weekend.
