Penny Black Challenge #93 - Carole's sketch


Yippee! Here comes the weekend and it's time once more for a Penny Black Saturday Challenge. Thanks so much to everyone who entered last week's "spring colours" challenge - I think there must have been some good vibes going on cos the weather has brightened up considerably this past week. Don't forget to check out the challenge blog to see if you won last week's prize :-)

Now we know that everyone loves a sketch, so we have got a great one for you this week from our very own Carole.


This was really fab to work with, and the DT have come up with some brilliant interpretations which I hope you'll check out. Don't forget ... in order to be eligible for the weekly randomly-drawn prize you need to use a Penny Black image - we have noticed recently that a few people have perhaps not realised this is a requirement .. please feel free to visit the challenge blog for a little summary of exactly what we mean by this ..it's our only rule ;-)

Carole has also donated this week's fabby prize, which is 2 beautiful Cuttlebug embossing folders - you can never have too many of them, I'm sure you'll agree!!






Here's my card .... for some reason the sketch made me think of a Christmas card, which was probably no bad thing as I am already rather behind on my "one Christmas card per week" pledge from back in January.


Recipe:
Main image: Penny Black "Snowy & Hedgy" (3289J) which was an RAK from one of my dear crafty buddies - can't quite remember which one, but I'm sure you know who you are :-) ... coloured with watercolour pencils and liberally decorated with glamour dust;
Sentiment: Craftwork Cards;
Paper: Heidi Grace "Snowflake Garden" (from The Hobby House);
Supplies: pearls from The Hobby House, sparkly gems and sparkly fibre from my stash;
Tools: large and small classic circle nestabilities; Martha Stewart "Arctic Snowflake" punch; Bazzill Jewel Template - "Flowers & Flourishes".

I would also like to enter this one for the following challenges:

ABC Christmas Challenge - F is for Frosty
Pile It On #10 - Pastel Colours
Pollycraft #36 - Sparkly Things

Hope you have a great weekend ! :-)
