Pink Elephant Day...

This week is a very exciting one at The Pink Elephant. We are so lucky in being sponsored by Stamp Happens. Each member of the DT received The Autumn Splendour digi kit to work with and wow they were just perfect for Ella's Autumnal themed challenge.

Isn't that scarecrow image just amazing? I printed him on Ice Gold card and I must admit that as I coloured him with my Promarkers for some reason the ink bled a little, but hey 'happy accident' methinks as what hard working scarecrow would have a clean face? Well that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Having discovered that the ink ran I made it run on purpose on the trousers as I decided I quite liked the effect, but now I'm not so sure!

The fabulous acetate printed with scarecrows is from Kanban and something I've had in my stash for ages and never quite got round to using till now. I attached it with brads to plain card and then matted and layered the scarecrow image on top.

Obviously here in England we don't do Thanksgiving, but even so I loved this turkey entwined with the word 'gobble' so much that I couldn't resist using it on a card. Again the image was printed on the Ice Gold card and this time I was careful not to encourage the ink to run.

As both my cards are 'predominantly brown' I think they qualify for the challenge at Stamp Something, where they always have a great challenge theme.

Also at Crazy4Challenges they have the theme of 'thankful' and creations can be Thanksgiving cards or for any occasion where you want to say thank you and at the Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge the theme is 'Autumn Colours'.

Thank you so much for looking and the fantastic comments I have received recently. I hope you will have time to play in our challenge at The Pink Elephant and also take part in the other great challenges there are around.

Thank you so much to great friends who have become followers of my blog. Love having you around.
