A Card, a Confession, and a Small Give-Away

First the Card:
Coloring is so therapeutic, and I had a chance to color this sweet little guy:

The image, LOTV's Get Well Bunny, was colored with Copics.  I cut out the oval, fussy cutting around the image.  The card base was blended with DI and stamped with PTI's Big Hugs, and HA's Say It All.  The panel was popped up with foam, and the die cut, SSS Sending, was cut from PTI's Orange Zest and adhered to the panel.

This card is going to go play at the following challenges:
Virginia's View#19: All Things Colored           Marker Pop! Challenge #79: Anything Goes
                              MarkerPOP! Challenge #79: Anything Goes
The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge

Now the confession:
In my last post I was so excited to share the card I made for Taunya.  As I addressed the envelope and sealed it up, the more logical side of my brain said, "Don't you think Taunya would've liked to open her mail BEFORE you posted it?!  The  impulsive, excited side of my brain said, "Doh!"  Yes, that's how I roll, people, that's how I roll.  Sorry, Taunya, for ruining your surprise!

And finally the Give-Away:
I've enjoyed seeing everyone's spooky Halloween cards lately, but I'm not into making them myself.  Once, when I ordered some stamps from Tiddly Inks, I received this stamp set as a bonus:

It's actually called Wicked Birthday, but I think it would be great for Halloween.  I would love to get it into the hands of someone who would give it the love it deserves.  If you are interested in it, just indicate in your comment with the word: WICKED.  If more than one person would like it, I'll have a random drawing.  Please comment by noon CST, 10/22 and I will announce the recipient on Friday, the 23rd.

Thanks for coming over for a visit!  I hope you're having a wonderful day!
