This card was inspired by the DTGD challenges and Paper Craft Crew Card Sketch #254 (Backyard BBQ). (Also, past challenges Mojo #406 and ColourQ #42.)
I kept things fairly simple, with the focus on the cute main image. What ended up giving me the most grief was the fact that I had used a piece of textured cardstock which I believe is Core'dinations, and it did not take the ink well, even though I could see it was still shiny and tried to dry it with my heat tool. I kept getting ink somewhere and transferring it to my finished colored image. Thankfully, I had recently purchased a mono eraser meant for smears and I was waiting for one to test it out. I ended up testing it out quite a bit on this card! (Verdict? It does work well, but it's not meant to produce miracles, so not smudging your project still remains the best option.)
The background So Saffron cardstock was stamped with a new background stamp from the Annual Catalogue, Burlap.
