Penny Black...Light the Night

Hi there, I was asked to make a couple of 50th cards for a friend and decided to use Penny Black image Light the Night. I made them the same but in different colours. Here is the rest of the recipe....
Papers all from Cuddly Buddly
Flowers and brads are from the Glitter Pot
Flower centers are bead caps which have been straightened out with pliers.
Oval Nesties
Ribbon from Wild Orchid Crafts
Pearls from The Hobby House
Martha Stewart border punch and Fiskars border punch.
Both images were coloured with Copics and glittered with Stickles, although the pics don't show the glitter as I took the photos then realised I had not glittered them...Duh!! Senior moment I think...lol
I hope you are having a lovely Bank Holiday weekend. I'm off work till a week on Tuesday...yipeee!!! I'm hoping to get my bathroom finished and also find some time to get on with some Christmas card orders.
Thanks for popping in

Hi there! Our DT Martha has set this week challenge and she has chosen the theme
HOT HOT HOT.
As always you can interpret it any way you like.
My DT card was made using Surfin Alfie from the Digi Stamp Boutique who are one of our regular sponsors at Charisma. The DP is My Minds Eye, and the sentiment and Palm Tree are both rub ons.I used my wave scissors to add some blue and added a HOT sticker to the image.
Sorry it's late again I was up 'till midnight last night doing orders.
As always thanks for popping in I really do appreciate your visits to my little blog.
