Thanks!

There are some wonderful colors to play with if you want to join Embellish Magazines color trends challenge! I was inspired as soon I got the picture in my e-mail inbox.
I was also inspired to make another card for Moxie Fab World's Thank You challenge -poor Cath must be tired of visiting my blog by now...
I stamped my bg with Magical bg from Hero Arts and then dry embossed it with a polkadot folder from Provocraft.
Stamps are from Waltzing Mouse stamps and Lawn Fawn.

Also I just have to show you something I thought was such a fun coincidence and something that shows how small the world is after all.
The other day Kim Huges at Paper Smooches posted a fantastic piece of art - a portrait of a man she had painted in -88 when she was 17 - it is stunning - but that was not the only reason my mouth dropped to the floor - in -86 when I was 15 I had made a drawing of exactly the same man. I couldn't really believe what I saw. I've painted and drawn a lot since but I think my mum must have liked it because she put it in a frame and it has been up since - so it is a very "well known" drawing in my family (-:

Mine isn't nearly as good as Kim's - I just thought it was so fun that we, oceans apart had seen something special in this man's face when we were young so had to ask my mum to take a picture of it so I could show it here;

(Kim told me the photo was from an article in National Geographic which I had totally forgotten)

I was also inspired by this challenge:
Penny Black and More - Summer Blooms
Samuel Taylor's Challenge - Use die cuts


Have a great day, Hugs, Karin
