Today's card is made using a Penny Black stamp which I got at the fair at the Trafford Centre the other week and I must say I am loving Penny Black stamps!!
Aren't they the sweetest girls? I really enjoyed colouring them in and followed the Penny Black Saturday Challenge sketch which I saw over on Kath's blog. It's so much easier when you have a sketch. I put butterflies on instead of flowers as I decided the umbrella was really a parasol lol! I have coloured the image with my Copics and Prisma pencil and a touch of Spica pen to the umbrella. The papers are Basic Grey called Hello Luscious with Coredinations cardstock. I have used Cheery Lynn French Pastry Die for the doily - what a fab die that is and cuts brilliantly, love it!! The butterfly border punch is a Martha Stewart and so is the larger butterfly, the smaller ones I made with a small punch which I have had years and years and recently rediscovered, how you do!! I would like to enter the following challenges:
Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Sketch
Simon Says Stamp - Anything Goes
Cheery Lynn Designs - Lots of Layers
Paper Creations Ink - Show us your style/Favourite Technique (Die cutting/Stamping)
Scrappy Frog - Die Cut Challenge

Well the repairman for my fridge can't come until Friday. This is where I have the last laugh on my son (he sometimes reads my blog) because he was teasing me the other week because I have a spare fridge in the wash house outside. He was saying why on earth do you have two fridges and a wine cooler when there is only two of you? Ha ha who's laughing now Stephen!!
Thanks for looking and any comments you may leave, take care xx

This is one of my most favorite images and boy have you ever done an outstanding job with this card. I think I told you, but we have been out of town and now I am trying so hard to catch up and I really do not want to miss a single card. That's why they call me nosy!!!!!
