***Monochromatic at Fab'n'Funky***

 Hello friends,

Hope you are doing well. 
Very hot and humid here ...great time to sit by the pool with a beverage or two. 

Today starts a new challenge at

Fab'n'Funky Challenge #533

hosted by our fabulous team mate Chris who has chosen the theme

"Monochrome"

I have coloured with Copics and a little Polychromatic pencil this digital image by Mariola Budek. 
 I became aware of this artist by one of the lovely ladies I follow. 
 Thank you Diane x 

I am critical of my work and next time I would colour this magnificent horse differently.
oh well...

Image matted on dark brown then gold.  The next layer was embossed with a StampinUp folder, matted on dark brown again on a white card.  Simple layout for this intricate image.

***Paper Piece it***

 Hello,  

It's time for a new challenge at

The Cutie Pie Challenge #161

where the theme is "Paper Piece It", sponsored by My Besties Shop.

I had some fun with this card today.   I thought it was only fitting that I add some
 flower paper to that little van.  I also paper pieced the yellow portion of the umbrella.

The stamps and Die Cuts and sentiment are MFT

*** Grad ***

 Good day everyone.

Hope you are doing ok.  We are having some steamy weather with rain in the forecast
but it hasn't stopped me from lining up to visit my favourite stores now that the region is in Phase 3.

We still have not been to any restaurants but that is on our list.  It has been wonderful getting together with family and friends though ...almost feels normal. 

Today starts a new challenge at

Fab'n'Funky Challenge #531

where we have a theme of "Anything Goes"

I have a graduation card for you today.

 I made for this for our Granddaugher who is going off to study

 Engineering at University in September.  

We are so very proud of her and will really miss her frequent visits.

I've used a Pre-Coloured image from LOTV Stamps and Spellbinder Richelieu Square die
