Penny Black Bee happy

Had a wonderful weekend stamping and colouring the new Penny Black stamps i bought from Shamela in Cape town.

The weather here is beautiful, early spring sunshine which is not as harsh as the summer sun , not the right weather for sitting inside however much you love carding , so I took my Copics and images outside and coloured away.
Later I made a few cards... yes a few.
This time I took a different approach and made cards and looked for challenges later.
I see quite a few of the teams are complaining that cards did not meet challenge criteria so i was super careful when choosing the following challenges for my rather sweet (me thinks card )
Firstly a new for me challenge at Fab N Funky  the theme there is what 'eva"and Penny Black at Allsorts has their September theme as Punch Away . As I do not own a border punch yet I punched circles and halved them to make my scallops and I used the Flower punch I won randomly from Lynn in Australia (take a peek at her creations they are wonderful ).

I also followed the sketch at the Annabelles Stamps blog (more from down under ) and a great challenge site ,and lastly if I get a move on Animal crackers is the theme over at a Spoon Full of Sugar .
If you like my card let me know .
I love comments.
Have a great week all.

  2. Hi Wendy

    A great creation.

    Love that cute little image which you have coloured so perfectly and your use of the circle punch for making that scalloped edge is such a good idea.

    Great layout.

    Thank you for sharing with Penny Black at Allsorts this month.

    Love Jules xx

    What a beautiful elegant feel to your card and a very imaginative design.

    I am sitting here at my computer imagining your lovely SA spring weather, when outside here it's raining and we have winter on the way.

    Thank you for joining us at Penny Black at Allsorts this month and good luck. Hope to see you again.
