Today I have a card that I made for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge which is Spring but when I have looked at the challenge I think they want something with a rabbit or chick on it so I am not going to enter it! I'll try and make another one lol. Anyway here it is:
The stamps and sentiment are from Penny Black. I have embossed the pearl card with a Tim Holtz honeycomb embossing folder. The ribbon, button, twine and card candi are from my stash. The image has been coloured with Copics and I cut the bees out and put them on foam squares for some dimension. The flower is a Joy Craft die.
I would like to enter the following challenges:
Crafty Ribbons - Anything Goes with Ribbon
Moving Along with the Times - Birds and the Bees
Paper Pretties - Terrific Texture
Creative Card Crew - Ribbon
Loves Rubber Stamps - Anything Goes
Artistic Inspirations - Things with Wings
Well enjoy your day and for those of you celebrating have a good Mother's Day tomorrow. Thank you so much for looking, I love your visits!! Take care xx
Fabulous card Susan - perfectly springlike.
ReplyDeleteLove the embossed background and the extra honeycomb parts cut out - I think I might even know which die you used to do that :o)
Have a fabulous weekend.
