For my card today I have made one for the Penny Black Saturday challenge which is 5 Circles - I think I have slightly more than 5!!
Oops doesn't he look astonished!! He is from the Penny Black "Bubbly" Set, I have coloured him with Prisma Pencils and used chalks for the background. I have followed a sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday for the layout and also used the photo inspiration at Simon Says Stamp. The papers are Boho by First Edition and the map is a paper from Raspberry Road. I have cut and matted using Spellbinders, a Memory Box die for the felt cloud and the border is a Spellbinder Edgeability die. The card candy (coloured with Copics), twine and button are from my stash. I would like to enter the following challenges:
Penny Black Saturday Challenge - 5 Circles
Sweet Sketch Wednesday - Sketch
Simon Says Stamp - Photo Inspiration (I have used the colours, balloons and map)
Totally Papercrafts - Its Raining Cats and Dogs
Forever Friends - Anything Goes
Little Miss Muffet - Loads of Layers
The Sisterhood of Crafters - Circles
Whimsy - Buttons and Bows
Craft Room Challenge - Furry Four Legged Family
Tuesday Throwdown - Critters
My daughter has gone off on a holiday in a wigwam in Cornwall so I am hoping that the weather improves for her otherwise she may need a canoe as well!!
I think we will have an easy day, I still have a lot of discomfort in my mouth and neck so not up to much today just a bit of crafting I think!! Hope you all have a great day and maybe a bit of sunshine too - fingers crossed. Although I did see some sun shining for the Queen at her Trooping of the Colours but a bit later everyone had their umbrellas out. Thanks for taking the time to have a look, it would be great if you would leave a comment - take care xx
