Penny Black Saturday #201 - In The Garden


Hi everyone, and welcome to another Penny Black Saturday Challenge. Thanks so much to everyone who entered last week's CASE it challenge - it was wonderful to see all the fab interpretations of Jenny's card.

This week our thoughts are turning to spring and summery weather with a challenge theme of

In The Garden

.. though you might say this is a bit ambitious in view of the awful weather we've been having!! 

As always you can interpret the them however you like so long as you link to a newly posted piece of work,  and we can see a Penny Black image, large sentiment or stickeroo as its main focus.

This week we are sponsored by the lovely 1-2-3 Stitch


with a prize of a $20 online store voucher - lovely!

The rest of the DT have worked their usual magic .. here is my effort for this week.


I really love this vintage little girl stamp - one of the very few vintage PB's I own, and picked up as a pre-loved bargain from my local craft shop's second hand table. I decided to stick with an overall country vintage theme, by going with gingham and patchwork flowered paper, gingham ribbons, an old-fashioned garden trellis and a vintage ticket sentiment.


Stamps: Penny Black "A Gift of Flowers" (586K); Whimsy friendship ticket sentiment;
Media: Promarkers and Flexmarkers;
Papers: Me To You "Spring Chic";
Supplies: ribbon, pearls and charm from my stash;
Tools: martha Stewart "garden trellis" edge punch; X-Cut flower and butterfly punches; Leone Em "Ash Family" leaf punch.


Challenges:
Crafty Pad #169 - Girly Girls
Deep Ocean #25 - What A Wonderful Woman!
Simon Says Stamp & Show - Your Favourite Stamp
(this is definitely my fave vintage-style stamp :-) )
Crafter's Companion #24 - Here Comes Summer
Creatalicious #33 - Butterflies & Flowers
Pretty Little Ribbon #10  - Blossoms & Butterflies (2nd entry)
DYSU #71 - Use A Flower
Fussy & Fancy Friday #62 - Butterflies, Ribbon & Punches
Paper Pretties Monday - Use Ribbon


That's all for today ... I'm off out today to the twice-yearly Port Sunlight craft fair, so hopefully i'll ahve some new stash to play with for next time.

Have a great weekend!

Pauline, your card is so sweet! I love the papers and patterns you have chosen for your background and the little flowers. Your stamped and colored image of the sweet little girl holding the basket of flowers is nicely done and coordinated perfectly with your papers. The little ribbons look really good spanning the card! Love the little metal basket embellishment! Thanks for joining us at Simon Says Stamp and Show. <3 Candy
