Keepsake Saturday

Can you believe that this Penny Black stamp is dated 2000 and its never been made in a card. I've always had a probs colouring in Penny Black images but over the years its seems I've got better at colouring and shading cos I don't think it looks too bad, OK not too sure about the cat but the window and curtains came out fine. So why this stamp, simple really the challenge on Cute Card Thursday is for Cats and Dogs and I started out using the CPS#81 sketch but the sentiment doesn't fit where it should rightly go. The papers are Making Memories that are still sitting on my desk from the last card, sentiment Francoise Read (Woodware). There's a piece of acetate on the top half of the window and the window panel are raised to make then look 3d.

So it looks like the plan for going to the Craft Barn has changed, Sis is having new carpet and flooring laid today and she's not sure if they will go in time to go, but demo weekend is on tomorrow too so fingers cross that we make it tomorrow.

This is lovely! Your colouring is fab. I don't have many Penny Black stamps, mostly because of the expense, but I do love them.

Great colours - so cute and bright.
