Penny Black Challenge - 65 - Heart's Desire

I loved doing this challenge as I have so many Penny Black stamps that would fit the theme... I chose this image from a few that my friend gave me and it has been in my stash for month - painted and waiting to be used - I used stampin' up water colour pastels with an aqua brush to paint the image and then have mounted it on to SU! card stock. The ribbon was given to me from an american card kit swap and I love the two colours they are so bright, The red border paper is handmade and I have had it about three years in my stash (and was from hobbycraft!)

The love sentiment at the top of the card is from the Smirk papers 6x6 and I love the bright colours. This is then mounted on SU cardstock

I hope you have all had a lovely weekend and like the card - here's to the second challenge completed...(read previous post) thanks for looking

Port Sunlight...

It was a lovely day and very busy and there were many a bargain to be had, many of them coming home with me... lol. We got there early and there were already lots of people queuing outside the doors to make a quick entrance to the three crammed rooms... There are three rooms there each with many stalls in ranging from the glitter girls, lavina stamps, horshoe crafts,sir stampalot, the stampman and many more... I bought mainly supplies but there are a few penny black stamps and some smirk papers!

I cannot wait to have a play with all that I bought but unfortunately this wont be for the next couple of days my wonderful hubby is putting down our long awaited laminate flooring (covering all downstairs!) it has been stacked in the hall since last Novemeber! and there is no room to move at the moment. I just hope it looks half decent for Tuesday when the craft group meet!



So here is a piccie of the lovely stash that I bought and I will get to making some cards as soon as I can... Bye for Now and Thanks for looking Debbi x x x
