My GDT Card for Penny Black and More at Allsorts

Back again this time with my GDT card

for Penny Black and More @ Allsorts

The theme is All Creatures Great and Small

This is one of my new PB stamps from Harrogate and its quite a big image so just some nice papers  and I stamped the sentiment onto acetate (as it was quite large and once i had mounted it would have covered a lot of those pretty papers) and fixed it on with pinflair adding pearls to hide the glue.

The seam binding double bow is so easy and effected I got the idea from the lovely Kath which you can see HERE on her blog.

PENNY BLACK at Allsorts October challenge...

Its the 1st of October and its time for a brand new challenge over at PENNYBLACK@ALLSORTS

The theme is The colours of Autumn

Here is my card and unfortunatley it is my last as an official DT member for PBatA I have decided to step down due to other non crafty commitments but will be joining the PBatA team now and again as an honorary guest designer.......hooray!

The lovely image was given to me by best friend and teamie Kirsten and the papers are all from basic grey the sentiment is from a see-d's set and is fab dont you think...

Now there is a sneaky twist to this months challenge but your going to have to pop over to find out......

and dont forget about my little candy giveaway here

Have a great Friday

Allsorts Week 63 - Dressing up.....

This week at allsorts we would like you to think about getting dressed up....

our sponsor this week is

One Stop Card Crafts

I found this image in my image box and thought this would be perfect for this challenge.......

I wanted to do something a little different than just a standard card especially as this weeks theme is quite theatrical so I decided to do this ........

I made the inside look like a little compact!.... well you cant go dressing up without your make-up on can you lol.....

The card base was made using the biggest of the standard large circle nestie, then each layer was just mounted and placed inside, the 'mirror' is mirri card and a Elzybells sentiment stamp was used .......

Keep your eyes peeled over at

PENNY BLACK @ Allsorts

As there will be a new challenge coming very soon with some more amazing PENNY BLACK prizes
