Charming Razzleberries

Ah its the beginning of fall, and amazing to me I sent my kids to school today in shorts again.  It's supposed to be 28 degrees C here again today, somewhere in the 80's for my American friends.  I'm going to relish every second of it, because soon it won't be shorts we're wearing!

I was without internet for a couple of days this weekend.  Our wireless modem went crazy and kept rebooting itself every 30 seconds - 1 minute.  You really can't get much done in 30 seconds!  But, they replaced it and now I'm back in my little cyber world. 

Today's color challenge at SCS is a really rich one.  Crushed Curry, Basic Black and Rich Razzleberry.  I like deep colors so much and thought this had the feel of jewels.  So I used some VersaMark and Clear Embossing Powder to create this color blocked background (Mercy's Sketch) and then used my markers on the flowers.  I stamped the "frame" to this set twice, overlapping each other to create this larger black frame for the flowers. 

Otherwise it's sweet and simple,  I even neglected to put on a sentiment.  But somehow that would have taken away from the design.  So it shall remain sentiment-aless.  :)
