This card is for the new Penny Black challenge at http://pennybfriendssaturdaychallenge.blogspot.com/ which is embossing. As you can see in the photo out came my trusty Swiss Dots cuttlebug folder for the embossing part of the card - I don't know how I made cards at all before these folders were invented.
I also used a fabulous sketch by Katharina at http://katharina1704.blogspot.com/. This week Katharina has challenged crafters to use this sketch and has very kindly offered a prize. It's a great sketch and one that I will certainly use again.
The cat in the bath image is one from a clear set of Penny Black stamps that my daughter bought me for Christmas. I've coloured the image using Derwent Inktense Pencils. I love this cat - there is a cute sentiment to go with it too - ' It's your day... Spoil yourself silly'. I've stamped this on the inside of the card and I might add a sachet of some bubble bath when I send the card depending on who I send the card to.
