PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE

Hi Everyone

Quite an early post from me today.

I was up bright and early with the mission for the weekend being to create a mountain of Christmas cards.

I knew that Penny Black Saturday were having a run of four weeks of Christmas themed challenges so thought .. .. "what better place to go and get my inspiration with my early morning cup of coffee"!!

The theme this week is "gold and presents".

Now I have to admit that gold doesn't appear on my general creations very much.  It does appear quite frequently on my wedding work but not on my "every day makes". 
So quite a nice challenge as it was making me do something different .. .. and I must admit I quite like the finished look.  Thank you ladies!!

Anyway, here is my make:





This used:

Image:  Penny Black "3917J" Welcome Party
Sentiment:  Great Impressions "B154" From All of Us
Backing Paper:  Papermania "A Silent Night"
Martha Stewart Punch:  Embossed Zig Zag
Dovecraft Punch:  Holly Leaves
Nestabilities:  Deckled Rectangle
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
ProMarkers
Diamond Stickles
Ribbon, cord and buttons from the Stash Box

and there we go. 

Off now to settle into some more festive makes.

Have a great weekend everyone .. .. and whilst talking of festive makes don't forget you still have time to enter the Handy Hippo Christmas Prize Draw on this post here .. ... entries accepted until midnight tomorrow (Sunday 13th).

See you tomorrow with my snippet makes.

Love

    Ooh you are quick off the mark this morning! Here I am having just finished my breakfast and surfing round the challenges before I get going! Lovely card, love the gold with the red, so much warmth, I had to admit to leaning towards that colour scheme too, but we shall see! Hopefully I'll make it into the snippet playground again this week!

    Hugs
