A Shy Surprise

Happy Sunday afternoon to you -- yeh we won a Gold medal at the Winter Olympics - well done Amy Williams in the Skeleton Bob. Sorry it doesn't happen often for the British to get a medal at the Winter Olympics - we don't get much snow - ha ha ha!!!!

Anyway the title of my post is the name of this cute Penny Black stamp I acquired recently from Caroline who was having a clear out. You can find him here. I have used the sketch at Stamp With Fun shown below.

The challenge at Penny Black Saturday is a colour combination - pink, green and yellow.

I have coloured the image with my trusty water colour crayons and then mounted him on a Spellbinders Large and Small Label. I have inked around the edge with Tim Holtz Peeled Paint, I have also used this on the edge of the green paper - a Funky Fairys kit as is the pink paper. I have distressed all the paper with my Tim Holtz Distressing Tool. The buttons and fibre are from my stash and I made the flowers using a couple

of punches and a tiny button in the middle. The lace is from my stash. I have also used a gold gel pen to draw in the stitches. The bow was hand made from ribbon in my stash.

I will also enter this card in the following challenges :-
