A very warm welcome to my teeny, tiny part of the huge world of blogging. This is where I share my passion for making hand made greeting cards. So - why "Always with a Heart"? Well this is for two reasons. Firstly, it is because every card I produce carries a heart on it somewhere. This can be big and bold or small and almost hidden - the fun sometimes is just trying to find it! Secondly it is because I put my heart into everything I produce. I hope that any visitors enjoy seeing what I post. If you drop by then please leave me a comment so that I know you called. It would be nice to know that you have found my heart in what I do.

PENNY BLACK AT ALLSORTS - APRIL

Good morning everyone

Well here I am as promised .. .. bright and early with my DT card for the Penny Black at Allsorts Challenge for April.

Were you one of the winners from last month? 

If so, congratulations!! ..    if not then I am sorry :-(    ... ... perhaps you might win this month.

The theme for April is "Black and White and One Other Colour"  .. .. .. but you are allowed to use additional colours for skin tones or hedgehog prickles etc

But no hedgehog prickles for me this time .. .. here is my creation





This used:

Image:  Penny Black "3636K" Flying Stars
Backing Papers:  Pink Petticoat
Leone Em Pty Punch: Ash Branch
Martha Stewart Punch:  Valentine Lace
ProMarkers and Aqua Markers
Glossy Accents
Flowers, brads, feathers, button, ribbon and lots of teeny tiny beads from the Stash Box

So for me it was black, white and green .. .. .. I hope you get chance to pop over and see what all my DT buddies created.  There are some awesome creations.

All the rules and regulations are on the Challenge Blog here.  I hope you get chance to play along with us.

In the meantime that is me for now. 

Have a lovely Friday!!!!

Love

Hi Jules, though I personally would have chosen a different colour to green to with the b&w I really like the card. Everything just goes together quite stylishly.

I'm actually going to visit my sister today. So I'll hear more of the drama in her world lol!
