I'm so excited!! It is time for our very first blog hop at Penny Black @ All sorts with lots of prizes sponsored by the Penny Black company!
If you arrived here from Maarit's amazing blog you are on the right track, if not you will want to go back to the beginning, the Penny Black @ All Sorts Challenge blog to start. There are awesome prizes on every DT members blog, so be sure to leave comments along the way for a chance to win.
Also be sure to look closely on each blog as there are letter clues for you to find. After you find all letters you should be able spell out the two words below and be entered in another drawing at another amazing prize from Brenda herself.
Of course I wanted to make a card to go along with the blog hop. I just love this cute stamp. It's called "Guess what".
It's been colored with derwent coloursoft pencils and blended with baby oil. The papers are from my ever growing stash, I think it's bo bunny but I am not sure.
I embellished with some prima flowers and brads, and then applied some stickles glitter and sewed around the edges with my janome mini sewing machine.
The sketch is from a Mojo Monday sketch from a couple of weeks ago.
