Curlique Love Challenge Card

I didn't get a chance to do much stamping this week, so thought I'd get a jump start on the weekend when I got home from work today.  I made this card for four different challenges:

The papers are Basic Grey, the stamp is Penny Black (3360K Curliques).  I used the Stardust gel pen on the image after stamping it, as well as aorund the oval scallops, and Stickles glitter glue around the inside oval and on the scallops of the outer die cut. 

These are the challenges I'm submitting this to:
BASIC GREY CHALLENGE http://basicgreychallenges.blogspot.com/  
The theme is "sparkle."  I think I accomplished that!  The camera really made the stardust gel pen look almost silvery, but in "real life," it is a soft shimmer.
PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE http://pennybfriendssaturdaychallenge.blogspot.com/ 
The theme is "don't be square," so the card had to be any other shape.

Beautiful fall colors - and these are some of my favorites!

Colors of autumn.
And, yes, this card does have an inside, and a back and really opens.  When you make a card from a die cut shape, simply cut two dies the same size.  To adhere the back piece, simply score about 1 1/2" from the top, and tape/glue just that portion down, then the card will open!

I plan to do some stamping and scrapping this weekend.  Hope you find some time to enjoy what makes you happy!
Blessings and peace,
