I'm having one of those days. You wouldn't know to look at it but I've been at this bloomin' card for bloomin' hours. First trying to find suitable papers, then my Cricut wasn't cutting the sentiment sharply, then I thought I'd stitch round the outside - big mistake - mini-sewing machine was playing up and I ain't dragging the adult version out.
So after several frustrating hours this will have to do for this weeks Penny Black Saturday Challenge theme which is a colour scheme - PINK & BROWN.
The papers are K&Co, the image is coloured using Faber-Castell watercolour pencils, the sentiment is Cricut Celebrations, and the lacy bit at the top is using my new Fiskars punch.
I'm off to do something else for an hour or so to clear my head before moving onto another challenge - hopefully I'll be back with something better later.
I think it looks great. Only just found your blog through the PBSC so off to have a snoop around.

It's a great card but it's a bloomin' nightmare when everything goes wrong and you're just not happy with the end result.
