Good morning, hope your week is going well. It's definitely beginning to feel like autumn now, less hours of daylight, it's quite a bit colder here...and wet! It seems as if we had a very short summer this year...I do like autumn but I'm not ready yet!
My card today is for this fortnight's challenge at Fab'n' Funky, hosted by the lovely N'Eva who has chosen the theme of
ADD PEARLS OR GEMS.
I've used a beautiful Pink Ink stamp set which I bought for a bargain price on Ebay some time ago, this is the first time I've inked it up. It's coloured with Copic markers, I've used a circle mask and stencils to make the background and added some clear drops and tiny pearls.
Do hop over to Fab'n'Funky to see what the rest of the team have created for you to enjoy, we hope you'll be inspired to join in and share your own beautiful creation(s).
Thanks for stopping by.
Chris

Beautiful card Chris, the Mermaid is gorgeous, what a bargain it really was and I love the background, it flows beautifully.
ReplyDeleteYes the summer was a wash out and now its rather chilly and abit gloomy. The thing I hate most is we never seem to know what to expect next, it can be cold and rainy then warm and the sky is blue again, all very weird. xx
Certainly is getting darker earlier and not ready for it either. This is so pretty, you've used the stamp to great effect and well done on getting a bargain too.
ReplyDeleteA wonderful card great scene you have created Ginny x

Love your underwater scene Chris,the stencilled background is perfect with the gorgeous mermaid
ReplyDeleteThis is a beauty of a card Chris and a really lovely stamp too! I really like the circle mask/stencils that you have used for the background, they are just perfect. I like Autumn too - for the changing colours it brings but not so much for the shorter and colder days. Have a great rest of the week - Michelle x
ReplyDeleteThink we jumped straight from Spring to Autumn ! Love the beautiful stamp and stencilled background.
