PENNY BLACK CHALLENGE - WEEK 86

Hi Everyone

It feels ages since I last played along with the Penny Black Challenge .. .. .. so I decided it was time to make amends!!

This week the challenge is asking for a creation for "Someone Special".

Here is my creation:

This used:

Image: Penny Black 3611J "x-large love"
Sentiment: Computer Generated
Backing Papers: Pink Petticoat
Nestabilities: Classic Rectangle Small
Martha Stewart Punch: Embossed Zig Zag
Promarkers

The little red dots are the bits left over from using my single hole hand punch which I bought a few weeks ago from a local stationery store. I think it is really designed for using in an office but I have found it really useful and it only cost around £1.50.

A very cold start here in the Midlands this morning. I am going to have to start off for work early as my car is totally frozen!! In fact I am hoping I can open the car door .. .. .. because I can't open my wheelie bin lid .. .. .!!!!

Wouldn't it be awful if my front door was frozen shut too and I had to stay at home and play with my toys all day!!! LOL!!!
Take care everyone and stay safe.

Love Jules xx

    Hi Jules, Gorgeous card! Such a cute image and I love the papers. It was also very cold here this morning and I had to leave the car running for 10 mins to defrost.

    Love the card Jules and the image. It's really cute and looks so warm and cuddly. My favourite bit though is how you've echoed the red stitching by edging everything with red. It looks great with the pale gray background paper.

    What a great card, Jules. He looks lovely and cosy in his big jumper. Those dots are great, you could make your own card candy with that punch!!
    Hope you managed to get unfrozen!
