PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE

Me.......purple!!!!! well actually the card is purple :) - so unusual for me to make a card with these colours........it's not that i dislike any colour, but i usually avoid purples and blues, simply because they don't speak to me as other colours do!.....anyway, less batty waffle and onto the card......

It's a fab challenge this week over at PBSC...... 'Frame It' - feature a frame somewhere on your creation.........
I have created my background and frame by using Dove blender brushes, stippling Adirondack 'Eggplant' and Sea Brights 'Bikini Pink' onto white cardstock. The frame was from the front of an old 3 fold aperture card that i used to use in my cross stitching days, i have loads of these, so i'm now going to try and use them up!!
The image is of course Penny Black :) entitled 'Brush Lily' which has also been inked with Adirondacks direct from the inkpad and then spritzed with water before placing down to paper.

My little sentiment is cut with my Nesties, labels 1 and the lettering is Adornit stickers. Some Kanban gems and crochet trim from local haberdashers complete my design.

I hope you've enjoyed your visit today..........Thank You for popping in :-D
