PENNY BLACK CHALLENGE - WEEK 66

Hi Everyone

I am a little late with my Penny Black Challenge this week due to my super exciting weekend .. .. but better late than never.

This week the challenge is to work to a sketch.

This is what I created

and here is the sketch for working to

My card used

Image: Penny Black 1758E "Garden Buggy"
All Backing Papers: DCWV "Floral Prints"
Mulberry Street "Mini Delphiniums"
Nestablities: Classic Scalloped Circles Large and Standard Circles Large
Inkssentials "Glossy Accents" for the snail shell (but it isn't showing up too well in the photograph)
ProMarkers
Brads, Gems and ribbon from the Stash Box

I have started on the "clean up campaign" but it is a waste of time. As soon as I clean one part and move on to the next another layer of plaster dust has settled where I have already been .. .. .. so that is it. I'm not going to be doing much more until the bathroom is nearly finished.

We are at the stage of a lovely plastered room with a loo and no lights but hopefully the bath can be connected for tomorrow - though not in its proper place. Luxury .. .. a bath by candlelight!! Not long to wait now.

Have a good evening everyone and thank you for calling by. I am hoping to have good old blog hop catch up tonight .. .. yay!!!!

Love Jules xx

    Morning Jules

    Very very pretty, love green and lilac together and the image is of course adorable.

    Bit if a shock earlier - there IS a grey in those new colours, nobody told me that beforhand.

    We are reeling the hospipe in as seeems not now required. Bath by candelight - too much info !

    This is amazing. It's the first time I've been able to get on your blog and I see this gorgeous card. I have just finished and posted a mauve and cream card myself. Not a combination I've used before so you must have been sending out vibes.
