Here I am with my Penny Black Challenge card for this week.
The theme is "stitching". You have to have some stitching somewhere on your card be this "real" or "faux".
I have gone for machine stitching in the form of "straight lines" and a "buttonhole". (I just knew that O'Level in Dressmaking would come in useful one day .. .. LOL!!!)
Here is my creations:
Image: Penny Black 3864F "bohemian"
Backing Papers: Pink Petticoat "Old Fashioned Girl"
Carla Craft Label Punch
Gold embossing powder
Flowers, brad, button and threads from the stash box
Beautiful blue skies here this morning. I hope the day stays like this and that it is the same where you are.
Have a wonderful Sunday.
Love Jules xx

As Clare said Jules, this card is gorgeous and I love absolutely everything about it. It's very classy!
It's my turn to have Blogger problems now. I'm having great difficulty leaving comments on some blogs and on my own blog, Mr Blogger has decided he doesn't like my arrangement of gadgets in the sidebar and has changed them all and WILL NOT let me put them back as I want them. Grrrrrr!!!!!!
