Stamps and Paper

Firstly congratulations to Fabiola on winning last weeks challenge.....
This weeks Penny Black challenge is Pink, Green and Yellow.
The stamp I've used this week is challed 'Why am I smiling'. Coloured with water colour pencils and chalks. layered onto pink and greeen card and I've use Fiskars Apron Lace punch on the side.
Backing paper is from stash so is the flower.
Cuttlebug flower die with computer generated sentiment.

This weeks Bah Bumbug challange is HOLLY......so have used this little Penny Black stamp called 'Christmas dreams'.
Coloured him with watercolour pencils, layered onto Nestabilities., found a piece of Holly vellum in my stash along with part of a card which had a holly corner so also used that.
Red bow with a little 'gem brad' used through the centre, Fiskars threading water punch also used along with SU oval punches.
Saying is computer generated.

While visiting a friend the other day she had a couple of new stamps and she very kindly let me stamp a couple fo images this being one of them. It is an Elizabeth Bell design and from from her Ebony collection. Backing paper from stash, Fiskars Apron punch used on the side border and I managed to find some matching ribbon.
Prima flowers' punched leaves, sentiment is from SU set called 'One of a Kind'... Pearls added to ribbon.

Another Penny Black image this time it's called 'Buzz in the Air'. I have been digging deep into my stamping drawers to see what stamps haven't had an airing for a while, although I should be using all my lovely new SU sets!

Image coloured with pencils and again mounted onto a square Nellie frame. Have you noticed that the new Fiskars 'Apron Lace' punche matches the square Nellies beautifully.....The backing paper and ribbon and flower is from my stash and I've added a little bee charm under the flower, he doesn't really show up that well on the photo.
Cuttlebug flower dies and also a sentiment from the SU set 'Circle of Friendship'. Just off to meet my friend Val for a coffee and catch up.

Missed the first challenge over at Bah Humbug but thought I would join in this weeks.
This weeks challenge is to make a Christmas card using something new or nearly new so what did I have forChristmas....yes...NELLIES...so of course soI just HAD to use another frame and of course my new Fiskars Apron Lace punch as well. The decoupage is came off a re-cycled Christmas card, the small flower is a stamp by Hobby Art called 'Ornate flower' stamped into vellum with white glitter embossing powder, two flowers put together with a red brad. Backing paper and ribbon from stash.

Blue, Cream and gold is the theme of this weeks Penny Black challange so I have used 'All dressed up' image. The 'Z' card doesn't show up very well in the photograph. Coloured him with watercolours, the Happy Birthday frame is also Penny Black and then mounted onto Nestabilites large scallop frame. Backing paper is SU and Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder also used. Fiskars Apron Lace punch used on the sides. Cream flower and punched leaves from stash.
