Penny Black Saturday #204 - CASE It


Good morning everyone .. yes I know it's Sunday, but I had no chance at all to do any crafting this past week so yet again I'm running a bit behind!! Even though I'm late, though, I had to make a card for this week's Penny Black Saturday Challenge because I loved the theme so much!!

This week it's our monthly feature of

CASE It

and it's the turn of our uber talented teamie Kath, who would like us to CASE this card ... 


This card is so gorgeous I absolutely had to have a go even though I'm so  behind!!

In the unlikely event that Kath's card isn't enough to inspire you on its own, we also have two fabulous prizes for randomly drawn winners this week ..

from  


we have this brilliant stamp 


and from 

this delicious ribbon kit.


No doubt you will already have seen the rest of the team's stunning creations by now - here's mine.


I have to give a little toot straight away to Nat, because to be honest I was struggling with ideas as to how to make my circle frame as I have nothing larger that a large circle nestie ... so when I saw her use of a doily that provided me with the inspiration I needed for that particular element :-)


Stamps: Penny Black "Aspire"; Whimsy Sentiment Ticket;
Media: image coloured with Marvey markers and spritzed with water; distress inks background;
Papers: Prima "Botanicals";
Supplies: pearls from The Hobby House; lace and doily form my stash.

Challenges:

(PB stamps, lace, pearls)
Ribbon Girl (June) - Use Ribbon Or Lace

Hope you're all enjoying the Bank Holiday weekend if you're here in the UK despite the awful weather today. I think the best solution is to stay indoors and do some crafting - look forward to seeing your creations !

what a pretty card! And the doily 'frame' is so delicate and pretty on your card. The tag is wonderful to look at. I love the stamping. The flowers look so real! and I love all the distressed edges and the pearl accents. They really give the card a feminine touch. I especially love the lace knot.
thank you for playing along with us @ oCC.
