Penny Black Saturday - November Challenge!

             Good Morning!

Today we have a new challenge over at PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE. 
This month's challenge is 'Anything Goes with the Option of  'Make A Scene'.
I haven't played along with the theme this month as I wanted to use one of the old T'-Sets by Penny Black that I'd had for a while for a C&S card. This set is based on the Christmas song '12 Days of Christmas' and I've created a simple card using the design for '5 Golden Rings'. 

INGREDIENTS -
Penny Black T-Set 
Stickles on the diamond part of the ring
Papermania Shimer Dome Stickers

C&S Floral Birthday

               Good Afternoon!

A slight break from the Christmas cards today, this birthday card is made using a pre-coloured topper released by LOTV a few years ago. I still have quite a few of these left and they're perfect for quick cards. This one is what I made for my Grandad this year, he's a keen gardener which is why I chose the florals but mounted it onto some navy cardstock so that it wasn't too feminine.

INGREDIENTS -
LOTV pre-coloured Topper
LOTV Sentiment
Clear Dew Drops

INGREDIENTS -

Vintage Christmas Girl

 Good Evening!
It's that time of year again when I dig out my Christmas toppers and my favourite's have to be the images which come as part of the Maja Design Paper sets. I think they're perfect if you want to make a batch of cards quickly whilst keeping a vintage feel. I decided to mount this image onto some green cardstock and then pop the image onto a smaller card base so that all the focus was kept entirely on the main image, finishing off with a few dew drops.

INGREDIENTS -
Maja Design Paper
Clear Dew Drops
