Loves Rubberstamps Challenge-Photo Inspiration

It is Tuesday so that means it is time for another challenge over at Loves Rubberstamps.  This week it is a Photo Inspiration.  Laura picked this lovely photo for us to work with. 

I did my card based on the color scheme and the plaid on the shirt. I used the stamp, Honeybee, by Whimsy Stamps via Elizabeth Bell.  I used a great gatefold card tutorial I found via Some Odd Girl Blog. 

Colored the image with my Copics and Spectrum Noirs.

Hair: E31,33,51,21
Blues: B15,B21
Skin: E11.E00,E000,R20
Red: R27,29




I will be entering this card into the following challenges

Hurricane Sandy has not been good to me here. My huge oak tree just crashed into my house..thank goodness it has not gone through the roof...yet!  I am hoping it holds off since no one will cut the tree down until Wednesday. Lost power too so kinda freezing but no flooding over here! Thank goodness for wireless and a minivan with an outlet to recharge everything...except my fridge but I hate cooking anyway...haha.
