Mod Squad Challenge

Hello there!

I'm back home from Lincoln ... missing my Aunt but happy to be home and to see my little cat....

I've missed being able to get into my creative space and today I've been busy with baking so I didn't think I'd get a chance to make anything... 
But the Mod Squad Challenge was beckoning to me


This week we are being challenged to make a one layer card ...


I love that silhouette image, it's from a set I got free with a magazine last year - I die cut a piece of card to use as a mask and sponged some various coloured inks before stamping it


Waiting for me when I got home last evening was a gorgeous card and a fabulous stamp set from my sweet friend Sue Lelli
I used one of the sentiments from the set which is by Precious Remembrance - New Day


The only other thing I added was a small amount of Glossy Accents for effect.
I'm glad I got to squeeze this in before the challenge closes ...

I'd better go and cook dinner now so I'll be back tomorrow

Enjoy your Day / Evening

~ Ros ~
