Penny Black Saturday Challenge #71

I've always had a bit of a mental block when it comes to Penny Black stamps.... I just can't seem to colour the little blighters. So when Tracy sent me the new Tiny Wishes set in my latest DT pack, I was determined to face my demons. And do you know what? ...... I think I succeeded!

However, I think I was probably helped along the way by the fab sketch over on the Penny Black Saturday Challenge this week. I've always wanted to join in, but have never been able to in the past. Hurrah for me! :o)

Goodie List........
Stamps: Tiny Wishes by Penny Black, from Dies to Die For.
Paper: 'Ooh La La' by My Minds Eye, available from Dies to Die For.
Cardstock: Bazzill Kraft.
Ink & Colour: Memento (Tuxedo Black) & Copic markers.

Thanks for stopping by today! I will be back tomorrow with a card for a brand new Whimsy blog hop! Make sure you stop by :o)

More Challenge Combining!

Wow, I'm totally on a roll with this challenge combining! I've managed to incorporate Colour Create where the theme is 'Blue and Brown' and also, Penny Black Saturday where the challenge is to include 'Something to Eat'.

I'm really pleased with this card as not only have I managed to combine 2 challenges, I also made a MALE card! Yup, no pink or frills or girlie images in sight! What's more, this is the first ever time that I have been able to enter the PB challenge as I don't have any PB stamps of my own and any I receive in swaps, I tend to be unable to colour properly. No idea why but I find them seriously hard to colour, no matter what medium I use. But, I think this one is coloured OK.......!

Goodie List........
Stamps: Penny Black from image swap, Elzybells sentiment.
Paper: Dovecraft Masculine DP pack, Core'dinations cardstock.
Ink & Colour: Memento (Tuxedo Black) and Copics.
Embellishments: Liquid applique, scalloped rectangular Nestie, button and macrame cord from stash.

Upon popular request, you may also notice that I updated my profile pic to take into account my new hair. It's not a great picture of it though as it is much more choppy than this in reality but it gives you an idea. This pic was also taken 14 hours after my make-up went on so I promise I look a little less knackered than this in real life!
