Penny Black Challenge #42 - Springtime ... there is magic in the air ...

Woo hoo the weekend is here again, and what better way to get the fun started (apart from going to Harrogate and spending loads of money, of course!) than to take part in this week's Penny Black Saturday Challenge?

As ever we had some fabulous entries last week - thankyou so much for your continuing support. I'm really looking forward to seeing who has won the cute teddy stamp I donated last week, so don't forget to pop over to the challenge blog to check it out.

This week we have another fab prize on offer, donated by our very own Jackie. It is the brilliant transparent set "Salutations" - I have this set myself and use it often!

So what do you need to do to be in with a chance of winning? Well - just make a card or other project for this week's theme which is

Spring

I know the weather has been cold and windy again this week, but hey - surely the weather should turn soon, and Easter is just around the corner. So we are really looking forward to seeing what you come up with. Don't forget that you must just use one or more PB stamp or sticker on your project. The DT has really "sprung into spring" to make some fab inspirational cards, so please do visit their blogs to have a look-see.

For my card I decided to try something a bit different which is a "swivel" card - I have only ever made one once before.

I felt that this style worked really well with the idea of having a picture image on one side and sentiment "revealed" on the other. I must admit, though, that my craft knife skills aren't the best and I think the concept was rather better than the execution - but we have to try these things!

Recipe:

Stamps used: Penny Black "Duckling" and "Spring Magic".

Colouring media: watercolour pencils.

Supplies: papers from my stash, punched with Papermania Multishaper punch "Country garden"; ribbon - DCWV; flowers & pearl brads - Papermania; zooms from my friend Kaz.

Have a good weekend everyone!
