Penny Black Sentiment

Happy Sunday to you all.
Not quite sure what happened to Summer.
We have had pouring rain since 6am this morning.
Shouldn't complain as the garden really does need it.
I am currently sat by the window with it open listening to the rain.
I hate getting wet but I do love listening to it.
Enough of me prattling in.
My card on this visit has been created for the 
This months theme is 'Anything goes with a sentiment'.
I created a gate fold card using papers from a magazine
freebie pack called Summer Picnic.
At least I think that's what it was called. The front cover has gone.
As it's picnic season (not today lol) I thought this fitted perfectly.
My main focal stamp  used Penny Blacks Hedehog Joy.
I love this stamp to pieces and use it quite often.
Coloured him with Promarkers Ivory, Grey 3 and 4, Black, tan and pastel pink.
I used a makeup sponge for the sky and grass using a pastel blue and green ink pad.
Other stamps used are Hobby crafts wedding bird and 
Helz Bazoo sentiment and flower plus a little busy bee.
Dies used are Xcut XCU-503015 the nesting scalloped squares.
Once I started it this card came together quickly and I am
 very pleased with how it turned out.
Especially the hand made bow as I have problems making them
thanks to my stupid fingers lol

  1. Clearly no rain in his neck of the woods Julie as he looks super happy dancing in the flowers and on such a pretty shaped card. It can't decide what to do here, a drop of rain every now and then and so very dark.

    Many thanks for joining in at Penny Black and More, have a good Sunday and hope the weather brightens up for you.
