All my favourite things


The challenge theme at penny Black and More http://pennyblackatallsorts.blogspot.co.uk/  this month is " All my favourite things". All the details of this fun challenge can be found on the Penny Black and More blog (link above). There are some fabulous goodies to win this month so pop over, take a look, and check out all the DT's cards for inspiration.

  At this time of year, I love having picnics when the sun is shining and the flowers look so pretty. I love all kinds of cakes too and cake HAS to be on the picnic menu.  I was trying to capture that summer scene when I made this card. The Penny Black stamp I used works perfectly for the challenge theme.  I coloured the image with promarkers and aquamarkers with colours that coordinated with my backing papers. I added these beautiful flowers which I picked up at a craft show last year and the pearl brads which are both my favourite embellishments. The swirls, sentiment circle and image circle are cut from dies. I am happy with the final result.
I have entered my card into several challenges which are listed below.
