Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Week 204

Hello Blog Friends

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.  I am entering this challenge because I actually have a Penny Black stamp which I feel suits the challenge this week and it is one of my favourites.  For more info on the challenge please pop over to http://pennybfriendssaturdaychallenge.blogspot.co.uk/ where you will find all the details.

The challenge this week is 'case it' where you are given a card, this week the card is by the lovely Kath Stewart (the lady who inspired me to start my blog) of http://kath-allthatglitter.blogspot.co.uk/ and this is my take on Kath's card.


I stamped the PB Mixed Media stamp onto white card and coloured it with promarkers.  I cut away about one third of the stamp to allow room for the other elements.  I decoupaged the top two flowers.  I embossed the background red card with a Cuttlebug embossing folder, in music to match the music in the stamp and sanded it to make a feature of the music.  I had to cut out the circle freehand as I cannot get my Martha Stewart circle cutter to work (!).  The middle strip is cut in two, edges rounded, holes and red eyelets added.  I distressed the edges of all the pieces with fired brick distress ink and assembled the card.  The sentiment is a stamp from Sam Poole.  The flowers were from my craft box and I put Swarovski crystals in the centre of each flower.

If you do visit, I hope that you will leave me a comment and I will do my best to return the compliment (not on Facebook or Pinterest though).  Thank you for looking, crafty hugs, Anne x

  15. Fabulous card Anne I love the stamp and colours. Stunning !! The queen and her family were amazing. I was so sorry to see such poor weather and the philharmonic orchestra choir were soaked but did an amazing job. Enjoyed the concert at night too. I have friends who were lucky to get tickets for the concert at BP. Looking forward to watching it on tv. Xx
