Penny Black GDT post - October colours

Good morning everyone.
Hope you all had a wonderful September.
I can't believe it is October already.
See everytime I wake up we are in a different month lol
I am very please to have my very first Guest designer post for the wonderful Penny Black And More challenge blog.
The theme for this month is Autumn colours.
I have chosen a stamp from the set Mimi's many loves and for the card I have used golds and oranges with a touch of brown.
Lots of distressing the edges with Creole Spice Kaleidacolor which is fabulous for Autumn.
I used the same ink for the backing paper using a leaf stamp.
Although you can't really see it in the photo I also stamped it all over the ribbon before hand tying the bow.
The glitter card I used is from an A5 card pad from Hobbycraft called Cool Winter.
Added a couple of feathers and bobs your uncle, one completed card.
Diecuts used are from Sizzix and Spellbinders.
You can find links/names at the bottom of the post.
Thank you for looking and do please pop over and join us.

Mums birthday card

Good morning everyone.
Just wanted to show you the card I made for my Mums birthday in which I am entering into the Allsorts challenge this week.
It was a huge hit thankfully
Had to wait until today as her birthday was yesterday :)
Dies used are MDCR1205 Butterfly by Marianne, S4-462 labels 39 by Spellbinders and Banner Pennants by Whimsy.
The embossing folder is by Sizzix and came with the Bigshot Teal starter kit it is called Dotted Lattice.
I am so in love with this embossing folder and the Marianne butterfly at the moment. It is just stunning and cuts beautifully.
I have used a lot of glitter and pearls for this card as my mum is as mad about sparkle and bling as I am.
Every little dot on the embossing folder is glittered as are the flowers and butterfly.
Shame it can't all be seen in the picture as the effect is just amazing when the light captuers it.

Mimi's Many loves - Penny Black

Good morning and hello.

It's finally stopped raining long enough for me to send the hubster out to dig over the front borders.

Planted some geraniums in the troughs under the window and the borders 

underneath are going to have lilac slate put down.

It's getting impossible for me to weed etc now and I can't keep making hubby do it all so slate chips are going down and we'll get some yummy pots and have potted plants instead to make it easier.

Any way enough of that.

My card today is another created for Penny Black and more.

I have used another stamp from the Mimi's many loves set.

Coloured using my Promarkers. 

I can't for the life of me find my colouring pencils.

This time she is in the garden.

Dies used are Timm Holtz tattered florals and 

Mariane Design LR0141 :)
