Just a simple card, that took forever. You know? I cannot color this image for anything, and I am determined to keep trying since it is a favorite of mine. So, I stamped it on brown paper, did some sponging and chalking and cut it out! Done.
The cup and teapot have CE on them to make them shine, and the lil sweet Gruffie is sitting in a bed of Watercolor Minis.
Thanks for looking.

You did a fabulous job of colouring this HM image!! Lovely edge with your MS punch!! You know, my same MS punch just will not punch!!! So frustrating!! Wish I 'd kept my Michael's bill - but you know I eat those things so as to prevent my husband from knowing the truth about the cost of stamping stuff. The only way to marital happiness.;)

What a wonderful job you've done - especially since you don't figure you can colour this image - wish I could colour so poorly!! LOL! Love it!! And I'm chuckling out loud at the picture of Debzi eating her receipts for the sake of marital happiness. What a crazy place this SCS is!

This is sensational!! I love the stamping it on brown paper idea, the gruffies are hard to colour to perfection...I usually chalk and sponge...so am loving this! Pat, those simple cards can take the longest - what is with that!?!?! LOL! Love this card especially with that MS border!! Thanks for sharing - this is gorgeous!! {{{hugs}}}
