Penny Black Challenge - Week 45

Good morning everyone

I am up with the lark and hyper-active this morning.

Penny Black Challenge done and dusted and ready to roll with another creation.

This week's challenge is to work to a sketch. This is the sketch:

and this is what I have come up with


Quite a lot on this card for me. I don't usually go for multi-layers and multi-patterns - but I think I am converted. This is the beauty of challenges. They open up new horizons.

I loved the layout and will be using it again for sure.

My card used:

Image - Penny Black "2243K - Bee Costume" (Stolen from my lovely DIL - thanks Cat xx)
Sentiment - Penny Black "3502F - a wish ..." (This is a Christmas stamp really but I have masked some of it off)
Patterned papers - Pink Petticoat
Threading Water punch - Fiskars
Nail Heads - Josy Rose
Cuttlebug embossing folder - Distress Stripes
Paper Cellar flower - from my TYI prize (thanks Anne xx)
Brad and ribbon from the stash box

So there we go - mission complete. I wonder what will evolve on my craft table next????

Have a great weekend everyone. Thanks for looking.

Love Jules xx
