A very warm welcome to my teeny, tiny part of the huge world of blogging. This is where I share my passion for making hand made greeting cards. So - why "Always with a Heart"? Well this is for two reasons. Firstly, it is because every card I produce carries a heart on it somewhere. This can be big and bold or small and almost hidden - the fun sometimes is just trying to find it! Secondly it is because I put my heart into everything I produce. I hope that any visitors enjoy seeing what I post. If you drop by then please leave me a comment so that I know you called. It would be nice to know that you have found my heart in what I do.

SKETCH AND STASH CHALLENGE 131

Hi Everyone

I hope your week has got off to a good start.

Fairly pleased with how mine has started with quite a bit done today and even chance to play along with the current Sketch and Stash Challenge.

I have had my eye on the sketch since it went live last week and finally today I had chance to use it .. .. along with another of my pre-loved (but new to me) Penny Black stamp from the lovely Clair.

So here is my make:




This used:

Image:  Penny Black "1447H" A Gift For You
Sentiment:  Pink Petticoat stamped with a blank tag from Lili of the Valley Christmas Tag set
Backing Papers:  Nitwits "Petal Fresh"
Nestabilities:  Standard Circle and Scalloped Circle Large
Sizzix Die:  "654995" Stars #2
Josy Rose:  Nail Heads
ProMarkers
Ribbon
My Trust Sewing Machine

and if you fancy playing along with the challenge here is the sketch.  Isn't it a fabby one!!!  I twisted it round.



So that was stamp 3 of 6 I bought .. .. and the end of the scrummy hedgies I gained!  Mmmm... I wonder what my other three might be LOL!!

Catch you again tomorrow with the next. 

I can't put them away until I have used them .. .. and as I need the space I need to get them stamped up smartish!

Love

Oooh! Look at all those pretty blues. There are so many fabulous layers in this card, and stitched no less. I like this sketch. I need to make note of some of these more layered sketches so I can learn to layer. My brain doesn't normally think that way. Great card!!!!
