Good Morning everyone! I want to share with you a card that I made with Chelsea's Gurlee Girl image. I had wanted to do this with my MMSC card, but to my dismay, the images did not fit into the sketch, so I just had to create this idea on a card somehow. I just love the warm, cozy look of the fireplace and the Gurlee enjoying her hot cocoa with fluffy marshmallow cream on a comfy carpet.
We are having a rainy day here today, so the lighting wasn't so cooperative for picture taking, but I thought I would share nonetheless. I wanted to do a couple of little touches that I didn't get to do on the card, because our bees are still giving us some trouble, and I am a little nervous rooting through my supplies to find things, but I am still really pleased with how this turned out. I would not have been happy until I created this card that has been brewing in my mind for some time now.
I will be posting another card with this image on it next week for the challenge, and you will see how different that the settings are between the two. It gives a wonderful idea of how differently that one image can be used for many different styles.
Thanks for dropping by for a visit today. I appreciate if you could leave me a comment and let me know what you think. I could use the support to get me through my bad week. I hope that you are all enjoying a good week, and I will see you soon for the MMSC Blog Hop.
Challenge for this card:
Stamp Something: Brown and something
Whimsy Stamps: Get Punchy
Secret Crafter: Autumn colors

Carolyn, this is wonderful! I love your idea of combining different stamps to creat this cozy scene. :) I also love the carpet she is sitting on too.
Perfect. I love the fireplace image, how you colored it in,those pumpkins and carpet and the flowers along the side - the colors used. Great, TFS and can't wait for your showcased card next week.
