Penny Black Saturday Challenge


Well this week here in the UK we've had one of the coldest days in April for fifty years so we need a bit of cheering up and fingers crossed that Spring will actually arrive at some point next week.
So this month's Penny Black Saturday Challenge is for a sketch which you can go the CAS way or heavy with the embellishments.
I've gone for somewhere in the middle first of I used this cute Water Lily Skiing and then some scraps of old Bo Bunny paper. My favourite MFT crochet border die along with the Memory Box Lavish Branch die, adding some punched flowers on the way.
I have a really busy day today, lunchtime I'm going to myNiece's Baby Shower and after a bit of rest time we'll be going out this evening to celebrate my Brother's Ruby Wedding Anniversary and to met my Nephews Fiancee. Need to get the cards ready this morning before we go.

This is so pretty...that image is beautiful and I love how you put the butterfly as if it is flying away, right off the edge of the circle! Brilliant idea.
