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 

Penny Black and More monthly challenge.

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
