Spring Joy!

Hi there, well the title of my post is certainly not about the weather!!!   💦💦💦

It is the name of my Penny Black stamp used for todays card:

I used:

Penny Black 'Spring Joy!' 2565J stamp

Promarkers

Papermania Happy Birthday To You papers

Buttons and flowers from stash

The Crepe paper dies are from The Greetery 

Now I did use my sewing machine to stitch around the edges but please don't look too closely because my stitching is atrocious!! In fact I did my best to hide it up and nearly didn't even post the card as I am so unhappy with it! After much faffing I think that I have sorted my tension out now - hopefully!

Challenges:

Passion for Promarkers challenge. week-737-feminine.

Simon Says Stamp blog Monday challenge Feminine

Simon Says Stamp blog Wednesday challenge anything-goes-

Penny Black Saturday challenge. April-anything-goes/numbers

as you like it challenge. favourite-clean-or-fussy-and-why? this is a difficult one because I do love the look of CAS cards but I can't quite seem to master them... I always have to step away from the card so I suppose that I prefer fussy cards so that I can pile everything on!!

as you like it challenge. favourite-cute-or-floral-and-why. (2nd entry) I definitely favour cute cards as I think they make people smile and they are more fun than floral cards - I also have far more cute stamps than floral!
