Fire

This week's Sweet Pea Stampers Challenge is Earth, Wind and Fire, and I have paired it with the sketch from Cupcake Craft challenge.
I coloured the image using my pens and then distressed the edges in yellow and orange ink. I used raffia for part of the sketch, and a Prima flower with some glitter just rubbed over it. The pearl brad was a opaque one that I coloured with my pens. This is a colour combo I am really not comfortable ... but I wanted to so something a little out of my box and comfort zone.

I have been for a power walk with a couple of friends .. would like to say I feel invigorated!!! But we ended up walking in persistent rain so I just feel like a knackered drowned rat!!!!

Recipe:
Stamp(s): Sweet Pea Silk Dance
Colouring Media: promarkers and copics
Papers: K and Co Que Sera
Embellishments: from stash
