Penny Black Saturday Challenge #35 - Romance

Hello again, and welcome to another Penny Black Saturday Challenge. Once more we have been overwhelmed by the popularity of our li'l blog, and it was fabulous to see all those stunning circle cards last week ... there were a lot of positive comments that you enjoyed making a different shaped card. Don't foget to pop along to the blog later to find out who won last week's scrummy downloads.

So onto this week's challenge, which is

Romance.

Time to get all kissy and cuddly and show us your best lovey-dovey efforts. As always you can interpret this however you choose so long as you include one or more PB stamps or stickeroos somewhere on your project.

This week we have another fab prize from Funky Hand - two downloads from the new collection due to be released, called "Huge Funky Love" .

The DT are obviously a romantic lot as they have come up with some fabby creations to inspire you - hope you will call by their blogs for a peek!

Here is my card ... I decided to go with the theme of "love letter" so I made a trifold envelope card and then mirrored the shape in the main image of kitty peeking out of an envelope.

I then carried this through with the cute bees carrying love letters. I had to be a bit careful with the decoration as this is going to be my husband's Valentine card, and I always have to try to avoid red as he has very definite blue football affiliations (let's just say that when Everton knocked Liverpool out of the FA Cup on Wednesday he was overcome with joy!!) So I always try to do a mainly blue based card, though you have to have a li'l bit of red on a heart don't you??

Recipe:

Images: PB transparent set "Every Which Way" and "Hugs!";

Sentiments: PB set "Every Which Way" and Art Impressions;

Paper : Papermania Creative Tones "Venetian Skies";

Flowers: Wh Smith/Papermania.

Also ... seeing as I DO have a very busy life but DON'T have an incredibly busy love life and therefore don't really have the need to make multiple Valentine cards, I would also like to enter this one into a couple of other Valentine challenges - namely E-A-C #25, and Stamp Something (Something for your Valentine) - hope that's ok.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend and look forward to seeing your creations this week.
