Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Week 146

This is one of my new Penny Black Stamps using Spice Big & Juicy ink pad
I have mounted the image onto Stampin up cardstock not sure what it is called
Now the background I messed about a bit with it!! I actually cut an aperture out of Craftwork Cards embossed cardstock & was going to sit my image behind the aperture but then decided it looked better like this so a lot of measuring & messing about for nothing lol!!
This is then mounted onto Old Olive Stampin up cardstock.
Final touches are flowers I got ages ago (again not used before) tiny but cute!
Coloured white cardstock with Old Olive  ink pad (stampin up) & punched out leaves.
Pearl gems (Stampin up) & Get Well Soon Sentiment.

This is my second challenge of the day!! Not bad for me but I told my husband last night I am crafting all weekend !! No washing, cleaning or cooking!! Well it's worked up to now long way to go yet lol!!!

Thanks for stopping by & hope you like what you have seen!!

Sentiment is one of the new Clear Additions from Lotv I bought at Harrogate. I can't wait until they add these stamps on the internet I need them all!!!
3 tone ribbon that I found in my stash, I was getting stressed trying to find some ribbon to tone in & this magically appeared!! Should think so the amount of ribbon I have lol!!

A SELECTION OF SIMPLE BUT EFFECTIVE CARDS!!

This a small selection of cards I have made for a good friend of mine. She is a Private Teacher & sends a card to all her students & family for all occasions. I don't charge a lot because I just keep them simple for her because she orders so many from me. This order was for 20 cards of which there was some mutiples so just showing a few of them.


Stamps I have used:




Stampin up


Lily of the Valley


Craftwork cards  frame & Lily of the Valley Sentiment


I have coloured the images in with copics & embossed the Sympathy cards.


I have not been on for what seems ages because I have been so busy of late & not had time to upload these images that I did a couple of weeks ago. 


Hopefully I will have time to play again at the weekend!!!


Thanks for stopping by any comments left are really appreciated!!
