Penny Black Challenge - A Gift

Happy Easter Sunday!

Not much time for crafting today as I needed to look willing and help hubby in the garden. We both ache now after lopping and trimming a rather large row of conifer trees!!!

I have managed a little craft session this afternoon though and have done the Penny Black Challenge - which today was to make "a gift".

Well what better gift than a pocket full of chocolate!!!

Here is what I made - and it smells delish!! Only two little chocolate eggs popped in my mouth - honest! (and two into my hubby's).


To make this little gift (which has a ribbon attached so it would actually hang from a branch, door handle or hook) I used:

Image - Penny Black 3864F "Bohemian"
Backing Paper - Pink Petticoat (Spring Wishes - loving this set at the mo).
Woodware Punch - Multi Sunflower
Bling - wire - ribbon and peel-offs from the stash box
and the old Diamond Stickles which has made an Easter appearance too

No problem in finding the heart today!!

I hope everyone has had a lovely day - and a great Bank Holiday t0morrow too!! Yippee.

Love Jules xx

    Wow Jules that is really pretty - love the combo of the pretty paper, flowers scattered around and the gorgeous butterfly image. Now this is what I call a gift with a heart - yummy! Thanks for joining in this week's PBSC and Happy Easter!
