Have I "toad" you...

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all had a great start of the week. I managed to color this image last night and this morning I had about 2 hours all on my self so I decided to make a card with it. (Laundry can wait, right?) LOL.

I used another one of my cute Penny Black stamps ("Captivated").
It's been stamped with versafine onyx ink on couture 80lb card stock. Again I used my derwent coloursoft pencils. These are soooo much fun to blend. Let me just say I used about 6 different pencils on just the flower pot.

Designer Papers are from My Minds Eye, card stock from Stampin Up (retired summer sun and really rust). I embellished with some prima flowers, buttons and thread, and did some machine stitching.

I wanted to play in this month's by the cute and the girly challenge because the theme is "Indian Summer" and I just love all of those beautiful colors.
Penny Black's saturday challenge this week is "card for boys or men" . I know I have flowers on my card, but I am planning on giving this card to my husband for our upcoming 12th Wedding Anniversary. And everyone likes flowers, right?

This is also my second card (this month) that I want to enter to this months Penny Black @ All sorts challenge and DT call. The theme is punches. They are still looking for a couple of DT members and I am still very interested in that spot, as I LOVE Penny Black stamps.
All sorts challenge and Catch the bug challenge both want to see Autumn colors as well, so I will enter them there too.



That's it for today. Thank you so much for visiting my blog!!
Hope you liked the project. I will be back again tomorrow with something new.

Have a great day,
