Penny Black Saturday #180 - Total White Out


Hello everyone, and welcome to another Penny Black Saturday Challenge. It was fabulous to see all your Christmas-themed makes over the past four weeks - we hope it has helped you get on top of the Chrimbo rush lol!

Now we are into December .. the big day is a mere 22 days away - eek!! So although our month of Chrimbo challenges is officially over, you may just want to make a last minute Christmas card with this week's theme (though it's not complusory :-) ) ... which is

Total White out

Yes we would like to see everything white on your card apart from your coloured image ... which of course must be a Penny Black image, large sentiment or stickeroo if you would like to be considered for this week's prize.

And talking of prizes ... this week we  have two fabulous prizes for randomly drawn winners.



this gorgeous stamp ..


and from The Ribbon Girl

SAMARA said...

Hi Pauline: This is a simply gorgeous card. All your layers, with their corners all sparkly and dressed up are spectacular! Your image is squishy adorable and fun and lively...just so festive. I love your impressions and the colors. WOW a true stunner. Pauline, because your image is not a FF, you won't qualify for the FF FAV, but hun, you sure will go into the top entrants challenge! Without a doubt, your card is stellar! Spirited love and lots of success on the challenges and of course on ours at FOREVER FRIENDS. Samara
