Lace and pearls at Penny Black and some fleathering

Hello lovelies - how are you today? All well and good I hope! We are good and definitely enjoying the sunshine! Long may it continue. I had a great run yesterday morning and tried my new running shoes out - they were fab - really comfy! I may run later today too - I've got a chap coming to look at the boiler and depending on what happens I'll be popping over to my mums - but I might be able to squeeze a run along the front at Morecambe after I leave and before I pick the girls up. That would be lovely but I'll pretty much have to play it by ear!

Today I have a card to share with you that I made for a couple of challenges - it features two stamps from Penny Black.

I got both these stamps from my lucky win over at Simon says stamp in January - I think the floaty one is particularly gorgeous. I've used Distress inks to create the background - crushed olive, mowed lawn and bundled sage having first stamped the images and set with black wow powder. The topper I used olive green wow powders on versa mark and then added two lots of faux stitching. The lace is from That Craft Place and the pearls were from a win over at Little Claire. 

I'd like to enter the following challenges with this card:

My ladies enjoyed their fleathering this morning - here they are hard at work colouring up pre fleathered card (me and penny were busy on Sunday afternoon).

and here's the fleathered pieces drying.

Thats all for today - I hope you have a good Tuesday! Thanks for dropping by today and I hope to see you again soon.
