Penny Black and More - October Challenge and GD search

Good morning and happy Sunday!!

It's the first Sunday of a new month and that means of course that we have a new challenge over at penny black and more! Plus, starting last month already, we will be on the lookout for a guest designer to join us each month.
To be considered, all you have to do is add GD next to your name. It is not required for you to use a Penny Black image, but we do ask that the main focal image has to be a rubber or clear stamp, not a digital stamp.  The chosen Guest Designer will then join the team for the following month.

Our challenge this month is 
"Animal Magic".

I decided to use the stamp "Skip and Romp".  Isn't this a fun image!! Kind of like a barnyard party!
I thought the sentiment "Life of the Party" from Whimsy Stamps "Celebration Circle Sentiments" would be perfect to use.

The papers are from My Mind Eye, I just got the 6x6 pack recently at Hobby Lobby along with a few others.

It's a pretty simple card, I layered the image onto some kraft card stock, then the designer paper, and then again onto a kraft card base. Embellished with some twine, and a button, and did some sewing. 
The image was colored with faber castell polychromos pencils. 

I would love to enter this to the following challenges:
Thanks again for visiting! I hope you'll get a chance to play along with us this month for a chance to win one of our amazing prizes by:
 Penny Black, Stampalot, Letraset, Little Darlings, Joanna Sheen, &Crimson Cloud.
