I'm With Genius...

Morning.. Wow 2 days in a row... It's been a while since I've done that!

I have a card perfect for back to school this week using one of my all time favourite Tiddly Inks images.... I'm trying really hard to use stash that hasn't seen daylight for a while or has never seen daylight (digi images, DSPs etc etc) so you will see some stuff coming out of the wood work in the next few weeks for sure... I'm also selling off a bit of stash in the next couple of weeks so look out for that too!
Anyhow, enough waffling... This is Genius!

Also, by complete fluke it kinda fits in with this weeks Tiddly Inks Challenge too... #140 Pop of Colour!!

Card Recipe:
Image: Genius from Tiddly Inks
DSP: My Minds Eye
Colouring Medium: ProMarkers/Copics on Neenah Desert Storm card ( I love this!1)
Lil Inkers Stitched Rectangles

Hope you have a great Thursday!! Fingers crossed I'll have some pictures of my new studio for you over the weekend if I manage to tidy up tonight... I really need to learn to be a tidy crafter!
