Sketch Saturday Penny Black

Not getting much done at all the last couple of days and I doubt I will now before MIL goes back and I haven't made it to a craft shop either, hopefully that can be remedy tomorrow.
So its a good job I saved this card for today its using this weeks Sketch Saturday sketch. I did struggle with this My Minds Eye paper its all a bit too busy. But I'm trying to use it up, the pretty flower paper it probably the last decent bit and the funky flowers were punched out of some scraps left of the dotty paper.
Since it is so busy I've had to leave it pretty plain then I'm use to and leave the Penny Black image to do the talking.
Don't worry I do have a card for tomorrow since its my Mum's Birthday today so I can show what I made for her.
P.S Heard from my friend Nikki, Stampin Up said YES and they're replace my ornament punch.

Ooh, yummy card hun! Those PB meece are the cutest (smiles). I don't think you needed anything else with the business of the papers - it's perfect as it is, any more and it would be too much. It's a skill knowing when to stop, lol! Fab colours and great take on the sketch. Going back for another peek at the meece. Hugs Sxx

Kathleen said...

Well this is superb, nice papers, busy but they don't take over from the image. The stamp and your use of it certainly speaks for it's self which to me is the way it should be or why bother using the stamp, just my humble opinion.

xxxtglxxx said...

Pretty card and lovely colours Debby :) Great image and colouring.

I agree, I like MME, but some of it is a little bit busy and its quite hard to neutralise sometimes, but you have done a smashing job with this, its bright and cheery.

Love how you have made that frame with the doily punch too! :)

hugs
