& this week we are sponsored by
Beccy's Place

Our theme this week is, as always, Anything Goes & we have an optional twist of Use a Sentiment
Here is my make for this week's challenge, using the very cute Beary Loving
I started off by making a 6"x6" card base from Ivory hammered cardstock. I then cut a gorgeous mat, I cut it from white card as I wasn't sure what colour scheme I was going for, I cut my sentiment & the banner from the same card.

After playing around for a wee while I decided on a monochrome card

The image was coloured in with my promarkers, in various shades of browns

I inked up the sentiment with Vintage Photo distress ink & then used a woodgrain stamp to stamp over it in Walnut Stain

I inked the banner in Vintage photo & again stamped over it with Walnut Stain. My mat was inked with Antique Linen & Vintage Photo, I then stamped the cute music stars on it randomly. 
I used pinflair to stick my image down so I could add some dimension.
So, there you have it, thanks so much for stopping by & I really do appreciate all your lovely comments.
