Good morning everyone, can you believe it's June already!! I do hope June will bring less stormy weather and less rain. Our town got flooded badly the last week of May, some cars were under water almost up to the roof...And these strong storms every evening are getting old too, At least we had a couple days with no thunderstorms.They always are so strong around here and really do take the fun out of spring.
Weather aside, it's a new months and that means it's time for a new fun challenge at
We want to see your clean and simple creations this months, and this is what I came up with.
I decided to make a simple one layer card, with a strip of designer paper on top.
I stamped my image ("guess what" by Penny Black) onto kraft card stock using onyx versafine ink, then used my faber castell polychromos pencils for coloring. I don't use kraft card stock too often for coloring on, but I like the different look it gives. Colored pencils work really well on kraft card stock.
Designer paper strip is from my stash. Sentiment is part of the PB set "critter party". Added some twine and a little button, and that was it. Oh, and then decided to do some paper piercing too. Hope you like the card.
I am playing along in a few other challenges too:
- Addicted to Stamps and More - Coloring
- Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes
- Try It On Tuesday Animals Or Birds
- Card Mania - Spots and/or Stripes

The weather seems all over the place this year Ellie, but like you am hoping June sees an improvement.

Gosh I LOVE this Ellie! The colouring is just so fabulous and I really like how there is a shade of blue around the image-very subtle but it really works. And I love how it is stamped on kraft with just the little button and twine as extras. Also the paper piercing is a great finishing touch. Thanks for joining us ATSM and hope to see you again soon x
