Labour of Love

Afternoon everyone, hope you are all well and enjoying your weekend. The sun has been shining all morning, actually feels like summer for once. My card today has been inspired by the Penny Black Saturday Challenge, where the challenge is to use 5 circles. I have  used a long stamp and split it into 3 individual images  and made the other 2 by using die cut circles.  I have added faux stitching to the images and added a pearl to each corner, as there is a lot going on I have left it quite simple.


Ingredients:

stamp - penny black 'labour of love'
circles - marianne creatable die
pearls - from stash
coloured with promarkers and flexmarkers

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Penny Black Saturday - challenge #206 '5 circles'
Tuesday Throwdown - #102 'critters'
Cutie Pie Challenge - challenge #20 'real or faux stitching'
Penny Black & More  - June challenge - 'my favourite things' (PB stamps, promarkers)
My Mums Craft Shop - challenge #61 'clean and simple'
J & C Creations - challenge #2 'animal antics'
Forever Friends - 'anything goes'
The Paper Shelter - challenge #68 'anything goes'
Pan Pastel Challenge   - challenge #23 'summertime'
