Darlene has come up with a fabulous challenge this week in the Crafty Secrets member forum, why not check it out and come join us?
I picked International Literacy Day (8th September) as my Calendar Event and combined with yesterday's technique challenge to make this little chap.
Supplies: Story of Me and Journaling (Clear Art Stamps by Crafty Secrets), Cheesecloth backgrounder (CHF), Tim Holtz Distress ink (Fired Brick and Antique Linen), Versafine Vintage Sepia, Prismacolor pencils/OMS/stump, sewing machine and thread, Brass and Cream Hardware stickers (Heartwarming Vintage/Crafty Secrets), Nestability Class Circle (used as a guide with a scalpel), copper gel pen, old gold cord from stash.
More info, bigger pic and a picture of the closed card so you can see more of the leathery texture detail in this post on my blog if you'd like a closer look!
TFL!

You did a wonderful job incorporating the slider with the adorable image of the littl' reader. Your coloring is fantastic, great texture and I can't help but notice the button from the hardware set adoring your tag! I sure hope I get a chance to play this week.
