Penny Black Challenge

I have also managed to complete the Penny Black Challenge today and for this challenge you had to follow the sketch, I didn't really like the sketch at first but once I started to put the card together with the stamp that I had used I feel it really came together! Idecided to use the colour combination real red and bashful blue as together they look really striking and romantic together. I have stamped the image on Stampin'Up whisper white and coloured it with SU water colour markers and an aqua painter. I have then mounted the image in a circle chipboard frame and added glitter to the centre of the heart. For the decorated panels I have stamped SU's hearts from Loads of Love - perfect for valentines day! and then inked the edges of the panels for the elements at the bottom of the card I used taffeta ribbon and added a knot detail to the left hand side. The sentiment is from a new SAB set exclusive to SU! Vintage Labels once I have mounted the rest of the set I will show you some examples! I hope you like the card and thanks for looking, your comments are much appreciated Debbi x x x Just over 50 visits until the SU! blog candy will be offered...

ribbons, ribbons, ribbons!

One of the other challenges for the DT on ILWS this one you had to include five ribbons either all the same or different. I have used three different ribbons to create the effect for my card. I have tied knots in two of the ribbons running up the edge of the card and added a bow to the left hand corner of the card. I have used a forever friends image to decorate the card. The cardstock used is cetainly celery and I have inked the edges of the card with certainly celery. I have not included a setiment on the card as the ribon that I have used at the bottom of the card has Merry Christmas stamped on it, there is a close up of that!

I hope you like the card - thanks for looking and Merry Christmas - Debbi x x x
