Penny Black Bees & Bunny

Don't ya just love this bunny in a flower pot with the little bees buzzing around the flower? I saw this stamp and knew that it just had to come home with me. Of course, I'm a huge fan of Penny Black stamps so it's no surprise that I bought this one!! And...we have an adorable little white rabbit of our very own, so I'm partial to bunnies!!

It's a double post day today!! The challenge ends tomorrow so I need to post the card tonight!I've created this card for the Week 89 Penny Black Saturday Challenge which uses the color combo Pink, Green and Yellow along with a Penny Black image. I had this beautiful paper from October Afternoon which totally fit the color combo and paired it with some Ruby and Yellow Bazzill card stock and Regal Rose Stampin' Up ribbon.

I even grabbed my new SU Scalloped Trim border and corner punches. They are a little tricky to use, but I think it was worth the effort. I love the scalloped frames that can be made with these punches.

These little bees & bunny are colored with Copics:
YG03, YG67: Grass
Booo: Bee wings
R20: flower petals, flower pot
Y15, Y38: Bees
E31, E33, E35, E50: Bunny and Flower pot

I've added a little Doodlebug Sugarcoated glitter to the wings but that may be difficult to see in the picture.

Thanks again for buzzing by!

One last Valentine card

OK...I know it's February 15th, but I just found a fun challenge over at the Penny Black Saturday Challenge blog. This challenge is simply to create a valentine card using any Penny Black stamp. I have never participated in a challenge before - but since my stash of Penny Black stamps is growing quite quickly, I thought it would be fun to join in. Just maybe...I'll even figure out how to use all of the links!!

This card uses two stamps from Penny Black "Via Post" and "Be My Valentine". I've used some Pink Paislee paper from their new Cupid Collection - one of my favorites!!! The image is colored with Copic markers.

...And of course you'll see that I've sewn the edges with my sewing machine. I really love the look of the sewn layers!!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day.
