Penny Black Challenge


Firstly I have to thank my dear hubby for taking this photo for me. As you know my pics haven't been the best around lately so he's been kind enough to do the honours for me the past few days.
Now that we're all getting into the new year with a true blast of challenges (yippee), Penny Black has also kicked off with their first challenge of the year which is based on embossing.
What a quick simple card this was, biggest thing to do was the colouring.... done using Koi water colours.
I do so love this bunny stamp as I am a major bunny lover as you will most probably know, seeing as I have 8 rescue bunnies who live with me. Yes it looks so cute peeking out of the plant pot but trust me there's no way those pansies would survive around the real thing, they would be in the mouth & down the throat quicker than you could blink an eye...
Well off to do some housework then on to another challenge. If you haven't already joined in the Penny Black fun get on over there for some inspiration & get embossing then share your creations with all us other bloggers.
Happy crafting
