Penny Black Challenge #116 - Summer Lovin'

Woo hoo! Welcome to the weekend .. and not just any old weekend but a Bank Holiday here in the UK :-) So here's hoping you'll find plenty of time to join in with this week's Penny Black Saturday Challenge. Many thanks to everyone who joined in last week - there were some fabulous interpretations of the sketch ... and don't forget to check back to the challenge blog to see if you have won a prize. So on to this week's challenge - and we have a theme for you ... Summer Lovin' You can interpret this however you like so long as you follow the one and only golden rule if you wish to be eligible for this week's prizes - we need to see a Penny Black image stamp, large sentiment or stickeroo as the main focus of your project. And talking of prizes ... this week we have 2 fab prizes on offer to randomly drawn winners, from 2 of our regular sponsors. First up, Fantastic Ribbons is offering this selection of black and white buttons ... ... and Dick at PB Stamps is offering a 15% lifetime discount voucher - lovely! The rest of the DT have all been getting loved up and producing some stunning creations ... here's my effort. I really adore this stamp though I don't own it - the image was kindly sent to me by Squirrel. It struck me as perfect for this challenge as it kinda incorprates both summer and lovin' in the one cute image ... awww!! (It was only afterwards when I looked up the stamp details I realised it is called "Sharing Spring" lol!!) Recipe: Main image: Penny Black "Sharing Spring" (3613J), coloured with Copics and Promarkers, and decorated with Stardust Stickles. Sentiment: Papermania; Paper: BasicGrey "Urban Prairie" and MME "Quite Contrary"; Supplies: large rose from Hobbycraft; small roses, cherry blossoms and rosebuds from Wild Orchid Crafts; pearls from The Hobby House; lace from my stash; Tools: Spellbinders small circle, large circle and large scalloped circle nestabilities; Martha Stewart "Valentine lace" edge punch; Marianne D Creatables "swirl leaf"; Fiskars "Victorian" paper cutting blade.

As always I would like to enter this card into a few other challenges ... I'm finding recently my crafting time is so limited I have to make the most of it Wild Orchid Challenge #4 - Make It Sparkle Penny Black At Allsorts (August) - Glitter & Glitz Creative Card Crew - Sparkle & Shine A Pocket Full of Posies #5 - Winged Things Flutterby Wednesday #119 - Open (angel, fairy or butterfly) Crafts & Me #11 - Petals & Pearls Kaboodle Doodles #38 - Lovely Flowers & Lace Alphabet Challenge - R is for Roses Flourishes Timeless Tuesday #81 - Lace Stamp With Stampavie #105 - Swirls Crafty Emma's Store #1 - Anything Goes
