Boss's Day October 16th

Hello - Below is my submission for this week's Addicted to Stamps and More: #309 which this week calls for Clean and Simple and CAS Mix It Up September I used markers, stamping, and die cut (for the sentiment).

This card is intended for Boss's Day which will be October 16th.

This is a super old SU! set called Simply Sweet (2003). The chairs were inked up using direct marker to stamp method with a mix of Distress markers. After that I went back in and did a bit of light water coloring to each chair. The card stock background is a mix of Taylor Made, SU and MFT's from the scrap bin, cut to the same width at various heights keeping with the mismatched feel of the chairs. The sentiment and matching die is from Clearly Besotted.

I really like how this card turned out and plan to keep the set out for a bit and try to use the other stamps in the set.

I was also going to submit this for a third challenge which was the The Card Concept, but I missed the deadline.... literally by minutes. Even though I'm too late for that challenge, I wanted to include the info so you all know where the inspiration come from for this card.
