Harvest Moon


 Hello..

Its the start of a new challenge over on Fab n Funky...the lovely Chris has chosen "use craft"

Ive had this die for some time now  its by Creative Expressions and first i cut it out of craft card....but when i put some ink on it it was too dark....much better out of white card...I used Distress Oxide ink to colour it in..then a white gel pen to highlight the flowers ect....I cut my craft card and this time took a paint brush more of the inks and tapped some on...I think i got more on me then the card!!! added some brown card for the layer and some sequins....
