Penny Black Saturday #79!

Morning all! Thanks for all the gorgeous entries into last weeks challenge - I think you're all sorted for the girls cards now! There's an equally fab challenge for this weeks Penny Black Saturday, it's Red & Gold - time to get traditional (if you want to go Christmassy that is!) 1-2-3 Stitch are offering one lucky person a $20 voucher for their store! Here's my card using one of the new Slapstick stamps - I'm so glad they've started doing these and hopefully the range will grow! I thought this was good for all the more traditional cards, this would looks fab in sepia tones I think! The gold and red swirly card is from some Christmas crackers I rescued from the bin a few years ago - I knew they would come in handy! I hope you can join us - have a great weekend!

Supplies-

Stamp - 'Antique Santa' Slapstick stamp by Penny Black

Colouring - Copics and 'Frosted Lace' Stickles

Papers & ribbon - stash

Corners - Cuttlebug die

Helloooo! I hope all you lovely bloggers are well! I'm fine, just busy but I won't bore you with all the details!

The added challenge to go with this sketch it to use Vellum, I love this stuff and really should use it more often. I've punched the bottom of mine and embossed it with a Cuttlebug folder, then layered it over this gorgeous Pink petticoat paper - nice and frosty don't you think?! As this is our last challenge before Christmas, you have until 5pm on the 5th of Jan to enter this challenge, and one lucky person will win a great pair of Whimsy stamps! I hope you can join us!
