PENNY BLACK SATURDAY

Hi Everyone

I hope your Bank Holiday weekend has got off to a good start.

The weather is a pretty mixed bag here.  Bright with a touch of sunshine one minute then rain the next .. .. and all those silly dandelions are smiling up at me from the bottom of the garden.  Grrr!!!

Not much chance I will be able to attack them this holiday .. .. too much to be done on the wedding front to be messing about with those.  Hopefully Mr Heart will make a start on digging them out .. .. but I won't hold my breath!!  LOL!!

Anyway, my share for today is for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge where this week they would like us to take inspiration from Jenny's lovely creation.

Well here is my creation:






This used:

Image:  Penny Black "3823H" Delights
Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat
Backing Papers:  Pink Petticoat
Nestabilities:  Classic Circle and Scalloped Circle
X-Cut Punch:  Butterflies
Martha Stewart Punch:  Traditional Scallop
ProMarkers
Chalk
Pearls from the Stash Box

and here is Jenny's card which I took my inspiration from.



OK .. .. back to wedding invitations for me now my little bit of "play time" is over.

We are off out for an Indian meal tonight with friends.   Can't wait.  It is ages since we last met up with these particular friends and ages since I have had an Indian meal .. ... a double whammy!!!

Have a good evening everyone whatever you are doing.

Catch you soon

Love

    So pretty Jules! Love the image and delicate shades of pink.

    Lol, poor Mr Heart! Dave was flicking through the TV channels last night and on one of the shopping channels there was a man using a pressure washer to wash a car. 'What's that he's doing?' I asked slightly sarcastically, lol. Nothing else was said but the car got washed this morning, lol!

    Hope you had a lovely evening !
