Pink Elephant Day...

Yeah it's Monday and that means a new challenge at The Pink Elephant and this week we have the theme of 'Be Thankful'.

I decided to use one of the fabulous designs from the The Autumn Splendor digi kit in the Wild Flower Kids range available at Stamp Happens. I really love this horn of plenty image - although I'm not too happy with the how my Promarker colouring turned out. Think I need more practice on shading fruit.

The sentiment is from the Hallmark Card Studio CD yet again - love the way you can lift the sentiments from the CD and print them out in lovely fonts to add your own cards.

Materials used:
  • Horn of Plenty - Wild Flower Kids Stamps at Stamp Happens
  • Sentiment from Hallmark Card Studio Deluxe
  • brown card and brown gold dust card
  • gold mirri card
  • gold corner peel offs, brown brads, ribbon and lace from stash
It would be great to see lots of people entering our challenge this week - there are so many occasions when we want to say thank you to friends and family as well as celebrations such as Thanks Giving. I'm really looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with.

Just love the seasonal look of this Ann, gorgeous colour palette too.
I thought your colouring was superb, and I've only recently got my new glasses, so I must be right! lol!

Hi Ann, unusual card and very colourful. Not seen one like this before.

Hope to get to The Paper Mill shop sometime this or next week. They have offers on for Mirror card, white linen look and hammered. Also boxes of pick and mix for £4.99. DO I really need any more card.....well not really but would like some burgundy and copper colour card and it's cheaper to get a mixed box than a few sheets.

Great card Ann and I think you did a fab job with your coloring. We're our own worst critics though, Im having the same problems with my new Copics. Just remember practice makes perfect so that gives you permission to buy more images to color :D (that's how I justify it anyway lol)

Well I must say I agree with the others that your colouring is great and you're just too harsh a self critic LOL!
