My apologies that I didn't get to visit all the TPT cards last week, we were away for a bit and I had no access to a computer for several days. When we got back I was just too tired to try to play catch-up.
As soon as I saw Cindy's post this morning with her story about Cheshire I knew I wanted to use this Penny Black stamp. He's stamped on watercolour paper with Versafine Black and coloured with watercolour pencils. I intended leaving the background plain, but got a smudge of orange ink on it from sponging all my edges, so I chalked it with blue. The little butterflies are from a Penny Black clear set, and are coloured with distress inks, and then Stickles.
Size is 5 3/4" square, papers are Basic Grey Marrakech. I added 3 faux buttons made with yellow card and Glossy Accents, and some tiny punched butterflies, along with gems in the non-rounded corners. Been too busy to have time for any fancy baking to bring along, but there's some fresh farmhouse country bread and homemade lemon curd for anybody who fancies some .

Nothing like Irish bread - is it wheaten by any chance??!! And homemade lemon curd I adore!! Love your cute card, Sabrina - adorable image and the little butterflies flitting around are perfect!

This kitty has its hands full with all those pretty flowers and so many butterflies to play with. Isn't it wonderful that there's never mistakes in stamping...only opportunities. You've certainly used your opportunity to its fullest.

This is precious - such pretty colors, papers, and coloring. What a special image to use on this sweet card - looks like the cat is present a bouquet - how fun (reminds me I do actually have a cat image I forgot about too - thanks).

Oh my, Sabrina!! This is a lovely card. Penny Black has so many of my favorite stamps and this one has been on my wish list - after seeing your beautiful coloring with it, it is now on my must order list. Love that gorgeous Basic Grey design paper too - it goes so well with the rest of your card.
I can relate to having to change your background a bit due to a smudge of ink. More than once I've had to cover up an unplanned extra bit of color. Love your card.

Fabulous coloring on your sweet PB kitty image, Sabrina! A darling card that is sure to be appreciated by Linda.
I hope your time away was good and don't worry about catching up. And, yes, I would love to try your farmhouse country bread and homemade lemon curd. They sound delectable!
