Lace a New Challenge - Sweet Stamps

Hello everyone, 

Its a new challenge over on 

SWEET STAMPS 

and this week the theme is 

"Lace" really or Faux 

and the prize as always is a $20 spending spree in the Sweet Stamps store.   You don't have to use a Sweet Stamps image to enter into the challenge but if you do you get two chances at winning that fabulous prize!  

As we are heading into Autumn (Fall) over here in the UK I decided to do a Happy Harvest card and this stamp is just perfect!! Its called "Scarecrow 210"  and was a real dream to colour.  The leafs are from Cheery Lynn - SM leaves #1  and are available from Sweet Stamps online store. The Sentiment "Happy Harvest" is also one from Sweet Stamps.  

I found this wonderful rusty liberty bell at the back of my draw, had forgotten all about them.  It goes well with this card - don't ya think!

I distressed the leaves using DI's, so pleased with the way they turned out..
