A Whole WATT

Howdy y'all!

Today over at the Make My Monday challenge blog. We have a NEW challenge which is to do create a Clean and Simple card.

Close to My Heart had a smaller light bulb stamp than Spellbinders. But it also had this cute sentiment. So I took the sentiment and combined it with the Spellbinders stamp. Then I brought out my alcohol markers and did a bit of coloring. Finally to finish off this piece I doodled the glow from the light bulb.  

Stamps: CTMH A Little Bit of Pun, Spellbinders Wink Wink
Paper: CTMH White Daisy
Ink: CTMH Archival Black
Accessories: Spectrum Noir Triblend Blue Turquoise, Dark Red, Ice Grey
