GOOD FRIENDS

Morning everyone,

And it is raining again!  What a wet few days we have had!  Time for our sun to shine again now I think.

Today I have a card which I have been working on for a little while now to show you.  It was one of those that kept getting put to one side and eventually I bit the bullet and finished it.  It is ages since I did this style card, and I think it is probably the first one of its kind for my blog.  Iwill definitely do more now, they are lovely to do!

I followed a lovely sketch for the Creatalicious Challenge and chose the lovely Penny Black Slapstick image which has been coloured by a very dear friend of mine.  The papers are the Boysenberry ones again, they really are lovely papers to work with and it is great that they all co-ordinate.  In addition I used papers from my stash.

The flowers were from either Wild Orchid Crafts or Mulberry Crafts and the leaves are made using the martha Stewart 'branch' punch.  The lacy edging is again a Martha Stewart punch.

I would like to enter it into the following challenges:

Thankyou for looking, and again a huge welcome to my new followers, and also for all your lovely comments.  These really do keep me going!

    I have this stamp and it has not seen the light of day for a while. You have given me great inspiration to use it.
