We weren't smiling quite the same 4 hours later but we finished it in good spirits! I definitely paid for it on Sunday though ..... I hope todays run goes okay lol!!! I think maybe at this point you will be thinking I'm a bit of a nut case - but believe me I'm not as crazy as Emma - would you believe she cycled 75 miles on Saturday before doing the walk in the evening? And then she was having to leave the house at 10am on Sunday - as she was teaching the sunday school lesson. Now thats pushing it!!!
I want to share my card for the artistic stamper challenge this month - the theme is all about the colour red and I've used some artisic stamper stamps to make this card:
I used distress stains and inks and the flick and spritz technique to create the background. I also used the garden greens die fromTH so this card has a strong TH influence. The background stamps are from a plate called insects and butterflies from Artistic stamper.
The words are also from the Artistic stamper - I found some great stamps at the last show I went to. The flowers I made using the tonic cornflower die. I did have another picture but blogger keeps crashing so I'll leave it here for now!
I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
Artistic stampertheartisticstampercreativeteam: colour it red
AVJvintagejourney: Wings and things
my mums craft shopmymumscraftshop: ink it up
I hope you have a good Monday and I thankyou for visiting me today. Look forward to seeing you again soon!
Hugs

Good for you at donating to this so very worthwhile cause. Loved the card, It is gorgeous in these colors (thought at first was alchol inks).
