Hi! Hope you're all enjoying August, here in France the weather is so HOT! Anyway, as I've been hiding in the house due to the hot weather I thought I'd have a go at this weeks Penny Black Saturday Challenge, it's ages since I joined in! This week it's a colour challenge, you have to use blue, tan and cream...
This is my card using Penny Black "Minding Shelty" stamp. I love this image, I have neglected my PB stamps recently so also used a PB sentiment stamp too, which I think goes perfect with the image. I've coloured the image using Pro Markers, I seem to be getting better at blending the colours. Don't you think these three colours go great together, I'll have to use this colour combo more often!
I'm feeling a bit frustrated today as I'm having problems with my internet/email account! And why is it when you ring the so called HELPLINE they never answer! Grrrrrr!!! I wish I could sort the bl**dy thing myself, it's driving me round the bend! Oh well, I'll just have to take a bit of time out and do a card or two!
On a better note, look how my cheesecake finally turned out...
... and it tasted good too! I surprised myself lol!
Finally, another quick card for Stampin for the Weekend Challenge which is "Days Gone By" - you have to distress to impress! So I did a quick little card using a Stampington & Co image that I've had for a while and never used. Not sure about this card, maybe it's a bit sad looking? It's definately plainer than my usual cards. Anyway, here it is...
