The Pixie Cottage Challenge

Hi! I am back today with a card for The Pixie Cottage weekly challenge.  Now I actually wanted to have this card ready for the OWH challenge that started yesterday (see previous post)  but time got the best of me. (What else is new) So I finished it up this morning!  It felt so good to craft. I have been able to color a little here and there at the store, but have not had time to actually sit down and make a card in ages.  It felt great to be creative again.  I didn't add alot to this card because the actual stamp, The Diner from The Pixie Cottage is a bit busy with all the fun food and things.  The stamp is actually quite big, so my card is a 6x6.  Of course I had to also add a Tilda stamp from Magnolia Stamps.  I fell in love with this paper when i first saw it and have been waiting for the right project to use it.  It is Modern Homemaker from October Afternoon.  Very vintage!  I colored the stamps with Copics and used my white gelly roll marker to highlight.  It is hard to see but I used crystal effects over the refrigerator to give it a glassy effect.
Sentiment stamp is also from The Pixie Cottage


I thought I would use up all the gorgeous paper and not have to worry about what I was doing with the scraps. So I finished up the inside.

I would also like to enter this card in a few other challenges.
Creatalicious Challenge is having a "anything goes"
Stamp with Fun is also "anything goes"
Kaboodle Doodles theme is Lots of Layers
Cute Card Thursday has "anything Goes"

Don't forget to get in on my challenge here in honor of operation write home.
