It´s raining challenges and some rambling LOL

Here´s a card I made last night. I found a gorgeous inspiration picture (below) and colour combo from Colour Create and had to play along. Then it was all about finding a fun sketch... and of course I found what I was looking for at Sketch Saturday.

The image is one of my new stamps from Whiff of Joy. It´s quite funny how long it took for me to buy this cutie even though it was one of the images that really inspired me to start stamping. Oh well, now that I finally have her I know I´ll be using her often.

I coloured the image with Promarkers as I normally do and used a bit of distress ink to wear down the edges. I wanted a sharp look for my card and chose not to use my scissors for the distressing. The dp´s I used are from various Basic Grey pads, I can´t really remember from which ones as I have a huge pile of paper scraps I can´t seem to be able to throw away. I´ve been meaning to clean my desk and have a plan to colour coordinate my paper scraps into little boxes. Tiding up is really such a tidious job, don´t you think. I just wish I could have such a clean and orderly workspace as in the inspiration picture.

Ok so my rambling stops here, back to business...I mean my card. I think it goes to my list of favourites at the moment. It´s an ever changing list of course, but at the moment this cutie is at the top...atleast until the next great card comes along.
