I've used Meljen's Little Layered Flowers Complete Set  check them out before 14th November Whimsey Stamps are having 50% off sale.

The  flower DP is Morning Meadows by S.E.I. and has a gorgeous pearlecent finish. I drew over the lines with a brown colouring pencil, and pinned them altogether with a spacer and coloured crystal brad.

Ribbon, brad and spacer are from The Hobby House

Cardstock:  brown Bazzill,  the sage shadow and very vanilla  is from Stampin' Up

Swirls  stamp by Creative Expressions from here

Sentiment stamps:  'thanks a bunch' from the Cute Greetings set by Wild Rose Studio

Penny Black Saturday Challenge # Sketch

Good Morning friends,
There's a gorgeous sketch over at the Penny Black Saturday Challenge this week, why not give it a go.
I used the Papertake Weekly Challenge of lilac and lemon. Gorgeous spring colours!!

To make my easel card I used a die cut card from a  goody bag from Craftwork Cards.
 My lovely friend Sue gave  it to me at the papercraft show in Harrogate on Saturday, mwah, we had a lovely time and came back with lots of goodies.
I already had some scalloped squares from the same company, which I layered on top.
I used lilac core'dinations and lemon Bazzil bling, and some paper from a stack pad I bought at the show. It doesn't have a name.
The image is from the "Wonderful" clear stamp set by Penny Black.
 I stamped a few times and decoupaged some of the flowers.
 I thought I would try cutting the circle with a Nestability die with the flowers out side. Sorry I can't remember the correct term.
If you want to try it don't colour your image first, I had a few tries. It was difficult to work out how far to cut around the flowers first. I got there in the end and pleased with the result.
The sentiment is from Stamping Up and ribbon is Dovecraft.
Have a great day,
Love Cherie    //*.*\\

Penny Black Saturday Challenge 92 Spring Colours

Hello,

 Over at the Penny Black Saturday Challenge your creations have to have a Penny Black image or sentiment and the theme this week is spring colours.

My card also fits into these challenges too:
One Stop Craft Challenge - spots and dots
Crafty Sentiments  -  sketch
Pile it on - to get your creation on at least one other challenge and the theme is pastels.
 This is my second card for this challenge, you can enter more than once!!

I used the lovely sketch over at the new Crafty Sentiments challenge blog, thank you Lisa for the invitation to join in the fun.
 Hop over there and give them your support, they would love to see you.

I thought I would make a thank you easel card using the gorgeous Martha Stewart edge punch.
If you cut a square 3 1/4 inches and punch each side it makes this lovely frame which I matted onto a Nestibilities classic scallop square.
The image is from the Critters clear stamp set by Penny Black.
Papers I used were printed from the spring CD by Wild Rose Studio and Bazzil
The gorgeous sentiment stamp is by Stamping Up. I absolutely adore these stamps!!!!

Thanks for stopping by, enjoy your day
Love
Cherie   //*.*\\
