Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Week 179

The challenge at Penny Black this week is Christmas + Red & Embossing. At long last I've actually made another christmas card, but unfortunately its only my 3rd. I've been wanting to use this stamp for ages. Its called Fantasy (isn't it gorgeous). I used Tinsel Gold embossing powder on the tree and added red gems. The ribbon used is from my stash, actually it was ribbon I bought to decorate my friends wedding cake, I've got a full roll of it. The sentiment is a peel off. We're off to Manchester tomorrow to see what the christmas market is like. Hope its a good one.

Whiff of Joy Challenge #116 - Karina's Sketch

My friends son is soon going travelling, not coming home for quite a few months. I know that his first stop is Bankok (fingers crossed that all the flood waters have subsided by then). I asked my friend Sandra if she would like me to make her a card to give to him. As soon as I saw Henry the Mouse around the world, I just had to use him but Sandra doesn't like mice (sorry but I had to cut his tail off). The papers are Bo Bunny and the sentiment is also Whiff of Joy You are my Hero. Thanks Karina for a brilliant sketch to give me some inspiration.
