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 .
