Penny Black-Lots of Hugs Card

Image
By sparklingblackrose
Good afternoon everyone, I hope you are well :-) My card is another one from my challenge to myself to use the stash I already own to create from-these Penny Black stamps I got for my birthday a few years ago but I have to admit I have never really used them because I find little creatures a challenge to colour! I coloured them with Promarkers and Flexmarkers, then cut round it with a nestie. I then chose My Minds Eye Stella papers I love but I havent really used much yet. I used Coredinations card which complimented these colours to cut a scalloped oval with a nestie. I also used Kraft card as my base under the papers. I arranged my papers then added American Crafts Polka dot ribbon, three buttons, a 3D Butterfly and a trail of pearls from the butterfly to show its path.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
Great Impressions Stamps: Walk on the Wild Side
Penny Black at Allsorts: Wings or Whiskers
Pile it On Challenges: Cuddly
Crafts and Me Challenges: Autumn Colours
Stampavie and More: Animals
Craft Your Passion: Power of three
Forever Friends Challenge: Anything Goes
Crafters Companion Challenge: Best Friends

Thank you for looking and for all your lovely comments :-)

    I think we'll all guilty of that one Elaine, it's all too easy to be tempted by new stash just as quickly forget we've got it.

    I really love the colour combination on this one and the layout of your card as well.

    It's great to see you at Penny Black and More challenge this month, thanks so much for joining in.

    I love your layered paper look. There's a lot of texture with the different DP, buttons, ribbons and pearls - kept me busy looking at all the details!
    I'm so glad you joined the challenge at Craft Your Passion and I hope to see you again next week!
