Cream and Gold for the Color Hues challenge ......

Happy Monday! .......

I hope you all had a good weekend ..... mine went just a little too fast!

The little man was here for a while.  We've had a lovely new bed delivered (it's soooo comfy!), and we were out on Friday evening. 

Because of the new bed, rooms needed re-arranging (always love moving furniture ...... not!!) 

We decided to put some of the garden furniture away for the winter (sigh!), which meant the garage had to have a tidy (now we just have a load of stuff to be taken to the tip and recycling centre ..... one of the jobs for this week!).  

And it didn't stop there ..... I made a start in the conservatory, it's all been cleaned and the furniture moved ready for .... wait for it ...... the Christmas tree!!  Productive or what!

I also spent some time in the craft room, supposedly tidying up but, as it was World Cardmaking Day on Saturday it would have been rude not to join in the fun now wouldn't it.

I'm playing along with the Color Hues Challenge again .......  this time they want us to use hues of Gold and Cream.

I do love this combination, especially with a touch of black so as they class this as a neutral my card fits the bill perfectly!

I simply stamped my image onto a piece of cream cardstock using Versafine ink, and then heat embossed with a gold EP

It's a fabulous stamp, the whole card stamped in one go ...... easy!  

I can't believe it's been sat in my box of NBUS (Never Before Used Stuff!) and I've not used this before.

Just think of all the possibilities for colouring it in.  For this challenge though, I've left it as it is, apart from the leaves ......

I coloured in all the leaves using a gold polychromo pencil, and then went over the top with a gold shimmer pen ...... so pretty!

The stamp is a beautiful frame for a simple sentiment ......... 

The only other thing I added was a few sparkly sequins here and there still in the gold and cream hues

As it's the stamps first outing, I'm also linking up to the latest NBUS Challenge

Thanks for popping by ..... enjoy the rest of your day and have a lovely week.

I'll be in the craft room, I've got some DT stuff to do and I'm going to try and spend some time on my journals I think.

Cheerio until next time ......
