Good morning everyone, and welcome to this week's Penny Black Saturday Challenge. I've been missing in action for the past 5 weeks due to a hectic time at work combined with a few health problems, but I'm hoping I've now turned the corner and am feeling ready for some springtime crafting :-). I'd like to thank my lovely teamies in the PBSC DT for being so patient and understanding these past few weeks, and I'm hoping I'll now be pulling my weight again both in terms of cards and commenting!
And what better place to start my renewed crafty obsession than with a fabulous springtime theme? This week it's
Easter Eggstravaganza
No it doesn't have to include eggs (though it can if you want!!), but we would like to see your Easter creations ... don't forget the only rules are that you should use a Penny Black stamp, large sentiment or stickeroo as the main focus of your new creation!
This week we have a fabby prize as always .... from our new regular sponsor Craftwork Cards
..this yummy prize pack from the Moorish collection (definitely looks more-ish to me lol!)
So here at last is a DT card from me.

Media: bunny coloured with Copics, rest of image coloured with Promarkers and Flexmarkers;
