Sketch Challenge for Penny Black

Its a sketch challenge over at Penny Black this week, this is my effort, I rather like these really bright cards with a mix of colours and patterns. Of course, I forgot to copy the sketch, so you will have to hop over there to see if I did a good job.

I paper pieced the stamp, cutting out the chair in the yellow stripe paper

Papers - DCWV
Black dots - Glitterations by Anita
Happy Birthday sentiment - glitterations alphas by Anita
Dad sentiment - Papermania Chipboard

Today is the first day I have felt 'normal' after struggling with this flu like cold for a week, how nice to have some of my bounce back..............
The sun is still out, the squirrels are playing tag along the fence, there are birds flying around with bits of twigs in their beaks, obviously doing a bit of nest building, and I saw a solitary crocus yesterday. Could Spring be springing?

  8. I truly love this card! I love cats
    and I love to read! I'm going to
    check this out at Penny Black and
    add this to my collection. I love
    the colors you used. You're lucky
    signs of Spring are showing. It
    snowed here in Georgia yesterday
    then it turned to rain. It's sunny
    today, I'm hoping it will finally
    start warming up. I can't wait for
    Spring to get here!
    Thanks Enfys!

  13. Glad to hear you are having some sun over there, and so glad you are starting to feel a little better. I love how you paper pieced the chair, the yellow was an excellent choice of color to use. AND love the cat peeking over that chair. I guess you could say I like your card.
