Penny Black Saturday #190 ~ Sketch....

Morning! It's Penny Black Saturday :)......

 We have a fab sketch by the lovely Nat to follow this week ~

I rotated the sketch and used the adorable Betsy Bluebell transparent set for the image. I have coloured as always with promarkers and prismas in pretty pastel shades.......I think I must be wishing for spring :)

The papers are from an old Forever Friends pack.

There is a fabulous prize of 4 rolls of ribbon of the winner's choice to be won this week from Fantastic Ribbons:)

I am entering my card into the following challenge ~

Simon Says Stamps - Use 3 papers.....I used 1 paper to mat and layer the image :)



Another short and sweet post.....sorry! Been busy with my mum who has been up to visit this week........time to go home today :( but we've had a lovely week, shopping, gardening, baking!!!

Thanks ever so much for looking xx

Penny Black Saturday #189 - Pearls & Lace...

Morning!! Today's challenge over at Penny Black Saturday is......

'Pearls & Lace'

I have gone all pink for this challenge and created a cute card using a PB hedgie called 'Country Lady'.......I have coloured the image with promarkers and prismas as usual and all the pink papers I found in my scrap box.

I have used 2 new dies too :) I was very lucky to win a spending spree over at the Simon Says Stamps Challenge......so treated myself to these gorgeous Memory Box dies.

I have used the Catalina wreath to frame the little hedgie and in place of lace.....I dont have any!! I made some paper lace with the other die called the Meridian border :) I can see me using these a lot!!!

We have a lovely PB stamp for a prize this week generously sponsored by Carole and check out all the DT cards too......some really pretty creations :)
