New Beginnings

Hi folks well would you believe it yet another card ,
they seem to be a bit like buses at the moment.
The Christmas break must of helped as I'm raring
to go ( crafty wise that is !!).

I was looking at the challenges last night and thought
I'd have a go at this weeks Penny Black Challenge
with the theme of New Beginnings.
I did think about doing a new home card but because i
don't have many stamps to choose from penny black wise
i settled on a new baby even though i don't know anybody
who's having a baby at the moment. Except the Beckhams
it was announced this morn that they are expecting but i somehow think
they might want a girl so even this cards no good. I'll stop
waffling now honest.

I'm also going to enter this into this weeks CES challenge this
is a first for me, i have never entered in this challenge before
there theme is All creatures great and small.

As you can see my stamp is from penny blacks Tiny wishes stamp set.
I have dug out my Polychromos Pencils to colour him in,
and blended with sansador.
The paper is Papermania's sweet nothings
The ribbon buckle is from woodware.
I think the ribbon came free with a mag years ago.
I have used the new nesti shape i have just got,
I think it's an unusual but fab shape.
Sentiment of course is LOTV i think these circle sentiment
stamps must have been a hit as i see them a lot all
over blog land.

Oh well just in time again to go and get
the kiddie winks from school.
thanks and

3 Challenges 1 card

Hi there today's card i have decided to enter into 3 challenges.

Friday Sketchers , Penny Black Saturday , and Sir Stampalot Challenge.

I seemed to struggle with this card,
i spent all last night messing with it
nothing seemed to look right so i left it and went to bed.
This morning i was all for throwing it in the bin
but thinking about the hours i spent last night i didn't want to feel
like it was wasted so i added the purple card in the middle which made it look a bit better.
I think because the image is busy and with the flowery paper
it was to much so the purple card tones it down.

Anyway i have used the sketch over a Friday sketchers,
the penny black challenge was to use your punches
which i have with the flowers and the half circles,
and the Sir Stampalot theme was Blossom and Butterflies.



Image and sentiment are Tiny Wishes stamp set from penny black.
Butterfly stamp is Anita's
I have used copic markers pens and Glitter pens.
The DP is Gwenyth petite from paper adventures
woodware daisy punch and Martha Stewart deep edge daisy fan
ribbon and stick on gems.

Hope you have a good bank holiday

Penny Black Saturday

Hi there this is a new challenge for me Penny Black Saturday.
They had a list of things to include on your card beside a penny black image.

• 3 flowers
• 2buttons
• 1 bow

The image i have used i actually water coloured about 6 months ago
when on a whim i bought the hugs set.
I don't have many penny black stamps but i love the cute
hedgehog and mice in this set.

The flowers are prima, ribbon and buttons are from my local market. the paper is from an
Artylicious CD Rom, i have a few and actually printed it off ages ago, and can't remember which CD it was.

I have had a delivery today of some of the new Fairytale Tilda's they are
gorgeous, pretty, really girly.
I know what I'll be doing tonight colouring my heart out .
