Good morning all - I hope you are well rested and ready for another day. I've got a card to show you today that I made with the two monthly Penny Black challenges in mind. Its also my first ever crisscross card - not sure that I've done it right - just used pictures from blogs really! Here it is:
The card is quite small - measuring 5 inches square - but dinky can be good - especially for posting! The bobbin and scissors are both cut from spellbinders dies and the image is of course Penny Black. I've had this one a couple of years now - and probably this is her 3rd outing!!! Shocking! The papers I used came from a giveaway on Kaths blog - Buddy picked my name out of the hat - so thanks to Kath and Buddy. The lace is guipure lace from the ribbon girl. I've coloured the image in promarkers.
I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:
pennybfriendssaturdaychallenge: Anything goes
Penny Black and More
pennyblackatallsorts: Sew Special
Card Crafters Circle

Thanks for looking - I have to take my poor old puss to the vets this morning - she seems fine but has developed a lump the size of a pea on her face - I thought it was a tick at first but its definitely under the skin. I'm hoping its nothing - She certainly seems pretty normal is all other ways!
Thanks for visiting and crafty hugs
