Jen is our hostess for the Teapot Tuesday challenge this week, which you will find HERE.
Penny Black: You're the Bestest, stamped on Bristol and coloured with Polychromos pencils. I added some SN clear glitter pen on the flowers. Normally they are white and yellow daffodils and narcissi and jonquils, but I used purples to score the cool colours, and also used the cold greys to colour the kitty.The background is nail polish marbling, and was just the right colours. I added an MFT Dizzy Border cut from one of my tomato paste tubes. Normally I like to poke all the little chads out, but for once I decided that it looked OK with some of them left in. I wrapped it round the background piece, and then added some frayed cheesecloth before sticking the image panel on. I punched and shaped a couple of faux brads. I always enjoy using this stamp; it was one of my early purchases, and my colouring has come on no end since the first cards I made with it.Â

I wish I was an elf in your creative workshop seeing how you did the tomato paste tube diecut. And yes leaving a few pieces in it, looks good. Love your PB image and I am now remembering I do have some like this. Duh! But my card is made for Jean, so will use them another time.
The cheesecloth looks great!

This is such a cute image and love how you worked your purples and blues into you piece to go with that background paper.

There is so much that I love about Ireland...you, Irish Soda bread and your tomato paste tubes! Sabrina every inch of this is fabulous. The background is amazing as is your gorgeous colouring. The cheesecloth, tom paste filagree - wow everything!

I have this kitten, too, Sabrina. It is one of my favorites. I love that fantastic background with the added strip and cheesecloth. Your coloring is perfect. I really have to try that nail polish bg...I don't have any, but I might have to get some at the Dollar Store. fav'd
