Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Birthday Blog Hop
This is my entry for this weeks Penny Black Saturday Challenge. This was a birthday card for one of my crafty friends who really loves cats and her one means the world to her. The image was stamped with black Stazon ink and coloured using water colours and shimmer paints. The card layout was from a challenge set by Linda on the Cuddly Buddly forum. The sentiment is from a Hero Arts stamp stamped onto white card with black Stazon and then chopped into three sections.
The base card is a 21cm square card made from two pieces of A4 card
