Penny Black Mini cards

Hi everyone,

I know it's been a while.... Time goes by too fast...

Well I won't try to catch up, let's move forward...

Penny Black is having a challenge on their blog:  you need to make a mini card - their mini cards (from their newest Christmas catalog) are 3 3/8 x 4 3/4".

So I tried one:

(Sorry about the crooked photo, I took it with my IPad and the lighting was pretty bad at this time of night, so I had to do it at an angle...)

Supplies:

White CS for card base
Stamp:  Penny Black Chill Day 4284K and I love Christmas on Winter Wonderland clear set: 30-083
Image was coloured with Copic markers, then glittered using a Stampin'Up glue pen and Making Memories Spotlight shimmer.
The paper trim is from Penny Black new 6 x 6 Paper Pad Madison 80001
The button trim was cut with Sizzix Tim Holz On the edge die Ornate 656626
The tiny stripe of green CS is by Stampin'up
The black ink I used is Memento Tuxedo Black

That's it for now!  Thanks for visiting my blog.

Merci de votre visite!
