Hello Again,
Well its been a fairly good week so far for me,
I started my Xmas shopping so feeling good
and organised (so far).

Breast Cancer Awareness Month
and this weeks card is dedicated to this Cause.
I would like to pay my respects to everyone 
who has been affected by Breast Cancer.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you.

Canada Bundle Digi Stamp
from Ike's Art
(One of our sponsors)

To begin with I used an A4 Sheet of Red Card
(stash)
which I folded in half to make a Rectangle Base Card.
And layered it up with a piece of Dark Green Stripe Embossed Paper
(stash)

This bundle has a collection of Images on it, 
so I choose to use the Background, Circle Stamp, 
the Mountie, and I used the Flag twice 
(though I flipped one of them)Next I printed off the Images

Shale
Walnut
Lipstick Red,
Poppy
Berry Red
Cool Grey 1
Cool Grey 3
Cool Grey 5
Black
Metallic Gold

Then I fussy cut the Mountie and both the Flags out.

To give the Flags a bit of 3D 
I used my embossing pencil to
 highlight the creases and made it 'Wave'

On the Background I gave it a light
waterwash of colour
using my new Bruynzeel Aquarel Pencils
Light Ultramarine - 77
Ice Green - 68
Olive Green - 63
Dark Green - 61
Light Grey - 73
Dark Grey - 74

Then I went around the Edge with the 
Berry Red Promarker Pen.

For the Stamp Die-Cut it out with a Circle Die
(Sizzix)
and again went around the edge 
with the Berry Red Pen.

And finally I Die-cut out the Letters
 to make the word 'Canada'
using Red Pearlised Paper
(Ross Papers)
and the Alphabet Nouveau Die's
(Sizzix).
