Super Hero


 September has arrived! I'm always a bit sad to see the beginning of September as it means the summer is coming to it's end and it never lasts long enough for me. I'll keep my fingers crossed for an Indian Summer to make it last a bit longer :)

My card today is for our September Challenge at Stamping Sensations, as always it's Anything Goes but there is an optional theme of Animal Magic if you choose to use it.

This month we are sponsored by AALL AND CREATE

with two beautiful stamp sets as prizes

                             

I used the Aall & Create Infinarty die set to cut a red frame and a circle of mixed media paper, then stamped the caped Meerkat image (Pink Ink). I coloured the image with water colours. I masked the image and used various stamps and stencils to create the background. Sentiment stamp from same Pink Ink set. 

There is loads to see over at Stamping Sensations, beautiful creations from the rest of the team and full details of how to play along with our challenge.

Thanks for visiting, have a good week.

Chris
