Penny Black Saturday #166 ~ Sketch....

Morning! I'm a little late posting today's challenge from Penny Black Saturday!!

Just could'nt get connected to the internet!!!

So this week we have a wonderful sketch to follow by the talented Nat :) Thanks Nat!

I do love a good sketch to follow....and this one is fab :)

I had a good rummage through my Penny Black stamps and found this cutie which I dont think I have ever used! I won it with another PB stamp on Ebay.....it's called 'Fairy Love' and it's from 1999!!

I have coloured the image with promarkers, used scraps of papers from my scrap box and added some embossing and then finished with the retro flowers which I have embossed also :)

There are 4 rolls of ribbons of your choice to won this week from Fantastic Ribbons....a great prize!

and do check out the {BLOG} to see all the different interpretations of the sketch by the DT, they all are all gorgeous!

Glitter Mermaid.....

Today I am sharing a very glittery card which fits in perfectly with the current challenge over at

'Squiggle Stamps'.....Glam & Glitz!

I have used the lovely Mermaid digi image coloured with promarkers......and then the fun part!!

I have used Stampin Up's Heat & Stick powder to glitter the whole image....love this technique and I think it looks like she is underwater :) I do have glitter everywhere though!!

Penny Black Saturday #165 - Shabby Chic....

Morning :) Apologies for not blogging again this week!!

Time is running away from me just lately!

Anyway.....it's Saturday already!! so time for a new challenge from Penny Black Saturday....

'Shabby Chic'

I enjoyed making my shabby chic card....I went for pretty vintagey papers in soft colours and distressed the edges of my mat with scissors and inked all the edges. Reminds me of an old quilt :)

The gorgeous PB image is coloured with promarkers and prismas & the papers were freebies from a craft mag.

There is a fabulous stamp to be won this week......from our lovely ex teamie Carole :)

I have used this gorgeous PB fishing bear image which was sent to me by a good blog friend :)

Love it! It's on my wish list now!! It's a large image and perfect for those men cards!!

I have coloured in the image with promarkers and prismas......and for the texture I have embossed the patterned paper with an argyle embossing folder, used embroidery cotton to attach the tag and I also added glitter to the fish and pearls for the bears/fish eyes!!

Penny Black Saturday #162 ~ Penny Black-Grounds....

Morning!! We have a fun challenge this week over at Penny Black Saturday :)
'Penny Black-grounds'....

Create a card/project using your PB stamps to create a background design.....I have used some tiny stamps from a PB sentiment set to stamp a design onto the patterned paper on the card.
I originally stamped a large piece of orange paper with my design but it was too busy :) so I cut off a strip and used the stripey paper as well with some motifs stamped on.

The image is coloured with promarkers and the papers are a mix from my scrap-box!

The sentiment is from the same set .....

There is something different for the prize this week too :) The lucky winner will join the team as Guest Designer for the whole of September :)
 All the details are {HERE}.....  do check out the rest of the DT cards too, some great Penny Black-grounds to inspire x

Cherry Tree Swing....

Today I am sharing a card made with another brand *new* digi image from Squiggle Stamps :)

This image is called 'Cherry Tree Swing' from the Lilliputs range.....

I think this is a fabulous image for summery cards, love the squirrel and the retro feel of the dress.

I have made a shaped card with my circle nestabilities, I love these little cards.....they also make great little gift tags for presents.

The image is coloured with promarkers and the glittery cloud paper is We R Memory Keepers.
