Annabelle Stamps Challenge

The challenge from Annabelle Stamps this week is ........

And here's my card ........

The stamp set that I used is Ballerina Rose, colored with Koh-I-Noor pencils. The card base is Kraft and dp is Origins, by Basic Grey. The ribbons are white grosgrain and a double-stitched green. Butterflies were done with a Marvy punch. I distressed the edges of the sentiment with green and added a couple of gorgeous light green pearls.

I was pleased with the outcome of this one -- truly enjoyed coloring those delicate wild roses. Unfortunately, we had gale force winds several evenings back which caused two slight leaks from rain getting under the tiles on the roof. And guess what happened to be directly in the path of one of those leaks -- yep, it was this card! (You knew that was coming, didn't you????) I can salvage the ribbon, butterflies and sentiment but the rest will have to be redone.

Do you want to see a picture of the sky during this bad weather? Well, here it is -- if you're scared of storms -- don't look! Actually this was taken as the dark clouds were blowing away and a bit of bright sky was appearing, so the worst was over by this time! We normally don't have very bad weather here at Lake Chapala but Tropical Storm Arlene was slowly moving through the Sierra Madras mountains causing havoc all over Mexico.



Adios,
