I'm baaaaaaaack! See if i can go for another full week of blog posts? Today's card use's the stamp that I think started this crafting hobby aka addiction for me? Pretty sure this was the first one of MANY Penny Black stamps that are now a part of my collection. I just LOVE them! The Hedgehogs and Cats being my most favorite. Sad thing is.....have nowhere near used them all yet. Please insert the blushing emoji here!! Some day I should count and see how many I have???
For my card I used a new embossing folder that I picked up back in October at the Stamp show. Not sure how well you can see it but it's ladybugs. It's by Darice and is it ever cute!! My image is colored with a combo of Copics and Prisma Color Pencils. I just can't seem to get Hedgehog or House Mouse fur to look good with markers. I added Glossy Accents to the ladybug and some rhinestones to the sentiment banner. The ribbon isn't part of the sketch put i just felt it needed something to tie it all together?!! Love how it turned out and it is one of my top favorite color combos.
Okay that's it for me today! Hoping to hit the stamp room a bit yet tonight? Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a great week! Challenges are listed below/

Another pretty card, Janice! I am so happy to see you back at crafting and posting! Penny Black is an awesome stamp company that has so many adorable images and this little hedgie is super sweet! Love your coloring and the design of this one! The colors are spot on as I love a red, white & black card! Pretty red gingham paper too! :)
I think you did a great job on this card. I've just recently started collecting more Penny Black stamps and really like them. They are so cute. So, I can see how they sucked you right into paper crafting. Love the gingham paper and the ladybugs.
