A 'whale' of a time

 Good morning blogland

It's new challenge time over at Colour Crazy Craft Challenge, as always there are a fabulous selection of inspiration cards on show from my Teamies and a lovely prize from one of our fabulous sponsors.

This week we are sponsored by Patties Creations, who have very kindly given the Design Team some digi stamps to create with. This is the card I made with my pick of those images - the cute Wilma Whale digital stamp.

I thought the image would work well for a classic Clean and Simple card - so that's the route I took. The image (and a sentiment I created in Publisher) was printed onto Copic friendly lightweight card and then coloured in with my Copics. I then masked off a block around the image and inked with Distress Inks. I added embossing with both an embossing folder and an old-fashioned bone folder (on the image panel itself) for final touches, again the embossing is not showing very well in the picture - but I assure you it is there.

I think, with the decreasing light levels I will need to re-adjust my light box as I'm finding I'm having to play about too much editing the picture and some details are being lost.  Oh the joys of Autumn, eh!

Here is my card:

Bye for now and see you soon,
