I did alittle everyday! Tonight I finally got the whole thing to look "right". I had the hardest time placing things because the image is quite large. I colored it in with distress inks then went over the whole outline with my black gel pen to make things stand out better. I also used Stempelglede's grunge collection and CHF aged music on the stars. I wasn't going to go around them with the glitter pen but I couldn't resist!!! I know... The sentiment is also CHF!! I don't know if I should give the links because last time I got in trouble ;) (LOL)Paper: K & CO.
Inks: distressed inks, glitter pen
Accessories: Brads ~ Micheal's, button and ribbons from stash
Also here are the girls backpack tags I made for them. Kelsey wanted to use the Maggie stamp that she won from Crafty Monkeys (Thanks Zoe and Hannah) and Lauren wanted me to use Penpal from Elisabeth Bell for Sugar Nellie. She thinks it is a picture of herself!! (LOL)
Thanks for stopping by and I hope everyone has a fabulous Monday!!!!

Such a lovely card. I love the way it looks old - both the image and the whole layout. If you ever have problem with understanding Norwegian - well turn to me and I can help - it is not that far from Swedish ;-)
I will def. try their challenges as well (when I get the time....work is keeping me from getting time left to creating cards...)
