Indigo Blu: Indian Summer

Hello lovelies! Just a quick post from me today - I'm running late as I schedule this on Monday night there was a meeting in the village I had to go to so didn't get in the attic until after 9 which means getting to the computer after 10. Anyway - the run - well it went okay although I think I'm starting with some sort of achilles injury - I'll rest it now until Sunday which should enable me to get around the Great North! Fingers Crossed!

Today's card is for the challenge from Indigo Blu which this time around is called Indian summer - I've used two of their stamps - the poppy and also a bauble that I've used to create the border.



all of the colouring is using distress inks - ripe persimmon and mowed lawn.

I'd like to enter this into indigoblublogchallenge.

Thanks for visiting and I hope to see you again soon!

Hugs
