Oh how lovely to be able to do some crafting again instead of just trying to sort out my craft supplies and bring some order into all my stuff. It's an impossible task anyway so I really don't know why I even try.
Today I had a little search through my Penny Black stamps and found this cute hedgie that I haven't used before. Had a little panic midway through this card (as you do) as when it came to cutting the blue mat for the image I hadn't enough blue card left. Eeek! There was enough to the oval you can see, but no larger. Anyway to cut a long story short the image had to be trimmed and a silver peel off butterfly added to replace the one chopped off during the trimming process. Saved by the skin of my teeth as they say.
The papers are from a magazine and have been teamed with a pale blue pearlescent. After such a long break from crafting I got a little bit carried away and even did the inner at the same time. Yikes, that has got to be a first.
Nothing too fancy, but I think it does make the card a little bit more special. My card was made with the following challenges in mind...
- Sweet Sketch Wednesday - I used their amazing sketch for the base of my card.
- Penny Black Saturday - 3 papers, 1 ribbon and 1 charm
Hope everyone is having a great start to their year. Thank you for visiting and for all the fantastic comments I receive. So kind.

Lovely card Ann and the inner is very sweet. Perhaps there should be a challenge where the inner was as important as the outer. That would make us gets our buts into gear.
