I seem to have had quite a craze on checked paper and card this week, which as the challenge at The Penny Black Saturday Challenge is 'Check it out' turns out to be quite a good thing. The lilac check card I've used here is by Kanban and is double sided with plain lilac on one side and the check on the other. Really handy as the colours are a perfect match with no effort involved. The stamp is one of my NEC purchases - sigh - I love the Penny Black stamps I bought! I used Promarkers to colour it and then matted on to the card. The sentiment is from a set of clear sentiment stamps by Hero Arts.
The flowers were made using another NEC purchase (there were quite a few) - my Nellie Snellen flower punches, which not only punch the flower, but emboss it too. Flower brads were from stash and unbelievably the exact same colour as the card - wow how often does that happen!?
Additional Challenges...
- Sketch and Stash - the sketch (brilliant sketch and one I will use time and time again I'm sure) - new stash is stamp and punches
- Cupcake Craft Challenge - Make your own flowers.
- Magical Crafts - Animal Antics
Training again at work today, so won't be blogging until tonight. Have a wonderful day everyone.

Another lovely hedgie card Ann. I love the co-ordinating colours. I never get tired of seeing the little rascals as they all look so different. I did make two cards yesterday and had a pile of toppers ready to make more today but planted a few heathers in the garden and and now shattered.
