Penny Black

Dusted off a Penny Black stamp - love this image - one stamp just won't ever get rid of..

Punched out a Happy Birthday with a Martha Stewart punch and punched out the odd butterfly

Hard to see but lifted up the pots - glossy accented them and coloured in with Copics - missed a few spots - but for some reason you don't see those until you take a pic and post it - hey ho.....

And just added a little bit of stickles to the flower....

 

Friday tomorrow and no work - Yaaaaaaaaahhhh - though got a dentist appointment - great...hopefully weather dependant - I may get some gardening done...

 

Have a fab weekend

 

Entered the following

Simon Says - Things that fly - hope my butterfly's count

Xmas here we come

Yes - I have started at last to make some xmas cards.....well 1 for the moment at least!.....Had this image and wishes image already stamped up love it....think the txt is Penny black - maybe the image is too...problem is I have been selling my stamps - printing or saving a stamped image as honestly I had sooo many - and as I do digi images mainly now to save on space....some images I have been really good - saved them nice and neatly under the correct folder - some even named...others ...well - they are just there...so sorry..

glittered his antlers and glossed his skates...I love this image - used it sooooooooo many times.....can't fall out with it really....

The inside of the card just used up some odd scraps....

 And as always ...embossed the envelope to start off the Christmas cheer before you even get into the card....ho ho ho...............................

Well start wrapping up warm....won't be long before I start lighting the fire again....fab...love log/coal fires

Hi there

Oh no - what has happened to blogger when I have not been posting...Oh do not like it...why could they have not stuck to how it was...bad enough learning new things at work with not coming home and having to start again...will be a miracle if this posts or not......

Well I have a job...not sure if one I want - but I have one.....my dad has had a triple heart bypass...Bex at Uni - missing her....Had laser eye surgery....Ummmmmm.....made my xmas cake.....and that's you sort of up to date.....

Today's card is as you can see a fab Mo Manning image - love this fella ...looks like my dog Archie..

 Coloured in with Copics and added glossy Accents for the bow...and fabby stickles for the fur on his hat...Thinks its a Penny Black Xmas wording stamp....so that's 1 card down - 60 million more to make!

Off hopefully around your blogs now....sorry been absent for so long....Have a good weekend...Day off tomorrow - Archie and I are off to the coast for a dog walk...Trace - my mate was supposed to be coming...but has a bad back...get well Trace - will think about you when I tuck into my fish and chips!
