Penny Black Saturday #119 - Sketch!

Good morning everyone, and welcome to another Penny Black Saturday Challenge. I was away last week on my hols in sunny Crete, but I'm back now and all caught up with things. Thanks as always to everyone who took part in last week's men/boy's card challenge - don't forget to check the challenge blog to see if you are a lucky winner.

This week we have a sketch for you by our very own Joey - the ladies on the DT really enjoyed working with this one and we hope you will too.


And this week, not only have the usual DT suspects worked their special Penny Black magic, but we are also joined this week by guest designer Kathy Racoosin, who is a designer for Penny Black Inc.

Penny Black has just launched its new Penny Black Blog, and also has a new Facebook fan page - even a new Flickr Group .... total heaven for all serious PB fans. In honour of these new launches and Kathy's guest spot, Penny Black Inc. is offering one lucky randomly drawn winner this week a stamp of the winner's choice from the 2010 Hallowe'en catalogue.

And as if that isn't enough inspiration to get you into the crafty mood, we also have a second randomly drawn prize donated by our own lovely teamie Carole - thanks hun!

So what are you waiting for? Here's my card for this week ....

Yes, the Christmas production line is now cranking into gear lol!

Recipe:
Main image: Penny Black image from "Christmas Critters" transparent set, coloured with Promarkers and Copics, edged with sponged green ink, and decorated with polar white Flowersoft and glamour dust;
Sentiment: Craftwork Cards;
Papers: Magnolia Christmas 2009 collection;
Supplies: flowers from Wild orchid Crafts (decorated with Star Dust Stickles); pearls from The Hobby House; iridescent gems by Papermania;
Tools: small and large classic circle nestabilities; Nellie Snedden shaped circle die; Martha Stewart "embossed snowflake" edge punch; Leone Em "Ash Family" leaf punch.

This card is actually quite sparkly .. here's a closeup which is a fairly lame attempt to show the sparkle on the "snow" and the flowers ...


As usual I would like to enter this card for a couple of other challenges:

Christmas Stampin' All Year Long #64 - Border Punches

Have a great weekend - hope you will check out the Penny Black blog and groups, and look forward to seeing your creations!
