I am Scheduling ahead here, just in case you think I am posting at 6am having just made this card.......I might be an early bird, but until those Espressos kick in not to much creative activity takes place beyond some blog hopping.......sort of wakes me up slowly.The theme at Penny Black this week is "Hearts Desire - you can interpret this weeks challenge as you please...heart ~ papers, embellishments, text..or just a card for the one you love...its entirely up to you. Unlike my Allsorts teamie Jules where the whole heart thing comes naturally (apart from the odd slip up ah Jules !) I had to think hard about this one, then inspiration arrived in the form of one of my very favourites, Penny Black 2695J, Dance, Sing, Love.......I am hoping that last work is adequate to fit the theme this week.
I cut the card from cricut Wild Card and stamped the sentiment with versafine sepia and embossed with detail clear. The swirls are from Inkadinkado 97513 stamped in exactly the same way, then I shaded the edges of the inner circle with Hero shadow ink soft pool, added flowers, leaves cut with L-Em punch, punched out butterflies, ribbon and pearls to embellish.

Hi Brenda
I love your PB challenge card. Gorgeous colour combo and your little flower arrangement (sure it must have a propery crafty name but I don't know it) is so lovely.
I have a strange feeling that the card that slipped through without a heart is going to be more remembered than anything else I ever make LOL!!!
Great sentiment on your card too.
Love it all matie!!!
Love Jules xx
