Hello everyone. We finally got a little rain last Thursday; but not enough. I never heard any thunder; which I was looking forward to. It is sunny and getting warm again in Southern California. I am ready for fall weather. I like the cooler weather; but not cold. I hope everyone is enjoying whatever your temperatures are right now. It is a lovely time of the year no matter where you are. I love the changing of the leaves. Nature is so awesome!!
I have been wanting to try the new CTMH alcohol based markers and finally got my chance. I fell in love with this September Stamp of the Month; so I finally got mine and found time to use it. I used the new markers and I love them. They are so easy to work with and such pretty colors. I love that I can match the marker colors to the ink and to the cardstock where everything coordinates so well together. I was very happy with the way this turned out. I made this for my brother-in-law; so I hope he likes it. I hope you enjoy it as well.
I used a card created by Brenda Rose, a CTMH consultant as my guide for creating and coloring this card. Thanks so much Brenda for the inspiration.
