BERRIES in COLORED PENCILS

Ever start a card and it doesn't end the way you think it should? Or it doesn't turn out the way you envision it? Well, this is THAT card for me. :) It is okay - but it was one of those cards I think I spent too much time on. So this is to show you that I do have off days. We will consider it a warm up card for the week. LOL








I participated in Sundays Featured Stamper Challenge and this is the card I cased. You can see I changed the colors, the stamps and the embellishments! I colored the image with Colored Pencils









Here are a few more details...




Stamp Sets: Autumn Blessings by Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps, Warmest Regards Retired by SU




Cardstock: Co'ordinations, Cosmo Cricket DP, Whisper White




Ink: Basic Black, Garden Green (for sponging)




Accessories: Basic Grey Brads, Nestibilities, Flower Brads, Primas, Silver Brads, white gel pen
