Penny Black Poppy Fields

 A very good morning it's beautiful here on the island this morning but it looks freezing outside....I've not ventured out yet. A new challenge is up and running over on Penny Black Saturday a fabby sketch by Pauline. Thanks Pauline I can see me using this one again and again. Fab inspiration from the DT as always. It also fits this weeks Totally Gorjuss challenge which is "As YOU like" no guesses there what i like LOL


 Lots of cuttlebug embossing and lots of white LOL I think it is official I lurvs white on white (WoW)
Poppy Field has been coloured using Prismacolor pencils and cut and emmbossed usinmg nesties and the scallopped border is a Nellies choice multiframe. Swiss Dots and Hearts embossing folders by Cuttlebug.


 Butterflies and leaves are Martha Stewart punches. The gingham ribbon gives it that lift and I always try to co-ordinate with the image :D. The pearls were made using a Pearl maker pen. there are two ways to use this pen you can either make the pearls straight onto your creation however if you are using coloured papers you will get a hint of colour from the pearls or you can make them on acetate leave them to dry and then adhere them as you would a normal pearl.

Well thats it for me at the moment lots to do today so better get on. 

See you tomorrow for Sundays for Santas and it was my turn to choose the theme this week LOL mmmm I wonder what I chose.

Whatever you are doing today......enjoy! Ali x
