Penny Black Challenge

Here is my card for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge, the challenge was to use a frame on your card. My friend Anna lent me these Circle Nestabilities, I have never used them before but managed to make a frame with them and think I may have to make a purchase!!!!!
This card is for one of my son's to give his Dad for his birthday or Father's Day which are only 1 day apart!!!!!
Products are from Stampin Up, the papers are Spiced Cider, and the Dad has been stamped with Schoolbook Serif Alpha, I have doodled with the Choc Chip marker and the frame is cut with Choc Chip. Stars cut out from the same paper range with my Star Punch and I have used a Close ot Cocoa button and tied a cute little bow through it with the linen thread, pinched this idea from my fab downline Jeannette. Thanks love! Old Olive in a knot finishes it off!!! Oh and the image has been coloured in with my inkpads. All products are available through me!!!

Right will put it away until June now!!!

  3. I love it! And I'm sure OH will too! Those images are just adorable and the colours you've used are super. Since SU I totally look at green in a different light.

    Julie you can pinch my idea's anyday, but I'll probably be pinching more from you!

  13. Gorgeous card!

    What a coincidence- I have just made a birthday card for my dad, and it has a frame on it! It isn't PB though, so I can't join in the challenge!
