New Penny Black Saturday challenge.

Here’s my entry for the new Penny Black Saturday challenge Which has the optional theme of watercolour/water. The stamp is called fish are jumpin and looking at the date on it it’s from 2001. I don’t think Penny Black stamps age though and I do just love them. I’ve coloured this one with promarkers and is easily suitable for a male. Love it!

It’s Christmas!

Ok so it’s July, almost August but I am behind on my Christmas card makes and I have some lovely Penny black stamps that I bought from my friend and I love them 😍. Anyway, look at me being all CAS it’s so unlike me, but actually I love how it turned out. I’m entering it in to Craftyhazelnuts challenge. It has been painted with distress ink markers. They are my new favourite go to!

More Penny Black

Here is another card I have made for the Penny Black Saturday challenge this stamp is called cake dance so is perfect for the food/drink theme. Who doesn’t love a good bit of cake?

Penny Black deliciousness

I have a growing collection of Penny Black rubber stamps and I love them all. I don’t dig them out often enough, so I am making a concerted effort to use them a bit more.  I have decided to play along with Penny black Saturday challenge blog where the theme is anything goes with the optional theme of food/drink. Hope you like it! My image has been painted with distress inks.

I love Promarkers challenge.

Well been having a bit of a clear out of my crafty stash....this merely involved moving things around I'm ashamed to say....not parting with anything, but I found my dusty promarkers and decided to have a play with them. I coloured this really cute Penny Black image and then used nitwit papers to make this simple card, that won't cost a fortune to post! I am entering this into the I love Promarkers challenge blog. where the challenge is cute.

Penny Black Challenge.

I have been having a dig around in my craft stash these past few days and I came across this stamp, which hasn't seen ink for a long time! It got inked up and created into this:

And now I'm off to eneter it into the Penny Black challenge!

Here's looking at you!

Don't you just love the Penny Black mice? Here's a couple of them having fun with some glasses. They have been coloured with promarkers and I have glossy accented the lenses and the eye chart and yes they did take forever to dry! Papers are Echo Park courtesy of a birthday pressie from my lovely friend Diane and the little black pearls are from my stash.

Penny Black Challenge - Monochrome

It's been a trying week all things considered. Our old puss cat went missing last weekend, then returned for one last cuddle with my brother and he called my parents back from holiday to tell them that old pusskins was going downhill and he thought my Mum and Dad would want to see him before he had to be taken to the vet. They packed up from holiday as quickly as they could and returned home. Sadly for us, we think he ( Beau our cat) just briefly stopped by and couldn't wait for my Mum to return and we think he has now passed away somewhere. We have hunted everywhere, we've asked neighbours, looked under bushes and called and called him. His bed has gone unslept in, his walkway to the orchard is growing over now and his food and water went untouched. So with a heavy heart we think he passed away on Monday afternoon. My brother is a proper old softy at heart, he used to go and buy him chicken and cook it for him when Mum and Dad were on holiday and spoil him rotten, buying him new things and giving out lots of cuddles, so I think it's only right that he came back to see him before he passed. Seeing an empty space now where he used to sit brings a lump to my throat. I was going to use a Penny Black cat to do the monochrome challenge for Penny Black Saturday, but I found it too painful so have gone for the mouse instead. It's quite a simple card, unusual for me.

Penny Black Saturday challenge.

This week's Penny Black Saturday challenge is Lace and Pearls. Here's my little mousie card, that has been coloured with promarkers and I have distressed quite a bit!

Penny Black new acquisition.

Oh who can resist a new Penny Black stamp? Not me, by all accounts! I just had to have it and it's even better when it's in the sale! I have hardly embellished this one because the stamp is so cute I didn't want to distract the eye from it.

Let them eat cake.

Today's offering is a Penny Black image that I adore! Love these little mice! I'm having a bit of a run on using Penny Black images as I love them so much! No prizes for guessing my colouring medium of choice! I can't seem to get enough of these either! Ho hum!

Card for Emma.

My friend Emma is having a birthday very soon. I chose  a nice simple card that's not too fussy and a gorgoeus Penny Black image which I have coloured up with prismas. I bet you are fed up of me using these!! The sentiment is a pink petticoat one and the papers were free with a pad on a magazine. Papercraft essentials I think it was, but don't quote me on it!

Penny Black moment.

It's my niece's birthday and she completely adores hedgehogs. I just love this Penny Black hedgehog. It's so cute! My image has been coloured with prismas and the backing papers are Christmas ones!

Christmas Penny Black

I am still in love with my prisma pencils, you may have guessed! I have made this one for my festive recipe on the CMLI group which you can find on Craftbubble. Do pop over and take a peek!

Penny Black Saturday Challenge.

This week, the Penny Black Saturday challenge is " One for the girlies". I have just discovered this challenge and don't play with my gorgeous Penny Black stamps as much as I should! So it's the perfect excuse!

Four in one.

Here's four challenges wrapped up in one card. Penny Black Saturday have gone all " fussy and fancy", I have used the Willow sketchie challenge sketch and the ribbon girl challenge "pink and lilac".  Finally the lothian crafts challenge this month is " an easel card".

Thanks go to Lauren for that fabulous lilac ribbon. Sorry hun......I had to cut my stress toy up!! xxxx

Penny Black Saturday Challenge.

Those of you that know mw know that I am most definitely NOT a CAS card maker! So this to me feels like there's something missing! Anyway the challenge this week on Penny Black Saturday challenge is Clean and Simple, so here it is. The image is adorable and I really enjoyed getting out my prismas again for this little lovely.
