This card is for the VSN challenge hosted by Melody aka lacyquilter. It is a Fossilized Rock technique challenge and is in keeping with the overall theme of the VSN âeoeRock Starâe

I followed the instructions exactly all though I may have been a little heavy handed with the ink. It dries very quickly so there isn't a lot of waiting around. I stamped then heat embossed some trees then an owl. I filled the trees in with SU Stamp'n Write markers and toned the owl down a little with the marker finally I stamped the greeting then over stamped it with gold and that's it folks. Why not come and play with us?
VSN is a challenge run three or four times a year and is held over two days Friday and Saturday USA ET or Saturday and Sunday EST Australia, with often a mini VSN a few weeks' earlier just so you can get into the swing of things. You have an hour to make each card with a challenge going up every hour.
I love to try and do my challenges live but sometimes life gets in the way and so everyone just must have their cards uploaded within a week of the challenge. It is an honour system that you only take an hour to make your card and that is part of the challenge, it is amazing how it hones your creativity.
Anyone can join in the fun and this VSN is from 5th and 6th July or 6th and 7th if you're in Australia with final uploads on the 15th July. We have many of our SCS members provide inspiration for an amazing weekend.
