Penny Black Challenge...

This weeks Penny Black challenge is 'Special Someone'.
I've used the 'Hedgehog Joy' stamp coloured it with pencils and chalks. Backing paper is from my stash. SU Ticket punch used on the corners of the stamped image, layered onto card and then onto card which has been punched along the bottom using SU eyelet punch.
Decorative lace 'lace' used down the side of the card, Prima Flower in the corner and mini Papermanis pearls added to the card. SU Oval punch also used. Just becuase I care sentiment comes from the SU set Best Yet.

Bah Humbug challenge...Baubles


Sadly this card didn't photograph very well.....This weeks Bah Humbug challenge is Baubles, didn't have an appropriate stamp so used the Hobby Art 'Ornate' flower to make a bauble. Stamped onto parchement and embossed using Jewelled Gold embossing powder which again doesn't show up very well. Put two of the flowers together and joined them using a Papermana brad. The sentiment is from the Su set Season of Joy.
The bauble backing paper was a scrap I had left in my christmas box so cant tell you who's it is.
Craftwork card candy used to finish the card off.

Baby Carriage....


Late posting today...but better late than never!
I know quite a few people who expecting babies this year (including one of my daughters!) so thought I had better make a start on some baby cards.
This stamp is by Rubber Stampede and is called 'Baby Carriage'. Stamped onto water colour paper and I have also used watercolours to keep the image 'soft'l layered the image onto pink and silver card.
Martha Stewart Lace border punch across the middle with some SU ribbon, daisy from stash. Backing paper and sentiments are from one of the Pebbles Inc. Share & Tell creative pads.
