Another PB Challenge

This weeks Penny Black challange is Black White and any other colour, I have a busy week next week so thought I would make my card early and have chosen green as my other colour. The green is actually much brighter than in the photograph.
The stamp is Penny Black stamp called Flying Stars.....Have used backing paper from my stash and Cuttlebug flower dies, the sentiment is from a SU set called Circle of Friendship.

Harlequin Rose

My friend Val very kindly stamped me some images from her Harlequin Rose stamp set and as they had been on my desk for a few weeks thought it was time I actually did something with them so here's the first one.
The photo doesn't really do the colouts justice, I've use Butterscotch & Lettuce Adirondack alcohol inks as one of the backgrounds, the Hero Arts swirl stamps on the base background, and of course the lovely SU oval punches as well as the SU Spiral punch. I've sponged around the stamped image with SU So Saffron ink.

Penny Black Challenge

This weeks Penny Black challenge is to use 3 different shapes but not including the card, so I have used SU Ovals,Cuttlebug swirls and a heart punch. This is my first challenge of any kind........

Just hanging around.....

This card I must have made over 10 years ago, although I have revamped the front slightly I found it in a drawer that I was clearing out , but thought you might like to see it!! Gosh how stamping has changed and of course we didn't have computors of our own and my crafting kit fitted a baby box from Mothercare!!! The rubber stamp was from a company called Rubber Stamp Craft which I dont think exsits anymore, but I know at the time I bought the cat and a dustbin and thought I could do several cards using both stamps, My friend at the time was building a dolls house and gave me some of the rood paper which I decided would make a good wall.........I was going to bin the card but decided it will do for a childrens card!

Reflection...

My lovely friend Val very kindly gave me some instructions on how to create a reflection that she had been given by Jenny so this is another project that Jan & I did yesterday.........all the stamped images are from the Forest Friends set....the Happy Birthday is a Personal Impressions stamp.
I've used the SU long scallop border bunch.

Thanks for looking.

'Tender Showers'

This is another one of the stamps that I bought at Shepon Mallet last week. It's a Penny Black stamp called 'Tender Showers' and is just perfect for a slider card.

I have used my new Cuttlebug Flower dies and printed the sentiment in the middle. Backing paper is from Craft Creations.

A 'Play day'......

Yesterday my friend Jan and I had a lovely day making cards and trying different techniques, heres one of the cards that we made.

The first card we made was this one with a Penny Black stamp called 'Blush', we also tried out one of my new SU rollers 'Flowers Forever', for this we used black card, versamark ink pad and white embossing powder, I added pearls to this when it was on the card. The blush flower was stamped using Verafine, we layed up with silver holographic and black card, the sentiment is from the 'Oval All set' and the new oval punches were used.
