Going home

 Hello everyone

Today I received my latest batch from Sweet Poppy Stamps. 

 I have used one of stencils for a new challenge over at 613 Avenue Create and the optional twist is Monotone Magic

I have to say I found inspiration from a tutorial I found on You Tube after seeing Lucy Ellis's card on Sweet Poppy website in their Gallery.  Thank you Lucy.

Of course I put my own take on it and made it slightly different

I used the following products

7x7 inch card base, 5.5 inch square front panel

Versafine Clair Morning mist

Distress Oxide ink pads - Scorched Timer and Fossilized Amber

Sweet Poppy Stencil - Chestnut Leaf Square

Stampscapes stamps - Critter set 4 and Day Cabin Right

I stamped Man on Horse onto the card base and the front panel to appear a seamless transition from card base to front panel.

Why not go join in with the new challenge over at 613 Avenue Create

Thanks for visiting me today, really appreciate it
