Happy 3rd Birthday Penny Black Saturday Challenge

Wow it has been so long that I don't remember how to blog anymore!!!

I decided to take some time and make a card for a challenge.  This one will fit 3 different challenges.  The Penny Black Saturday Challenge here:  http://pennybfriendssaturdaychallenge.blogspot.com/2011/06/penny-black-saturday-challengebirthday.html.  The blog is celebrating a third anniversary.  The challenge was to use a stamp with critters.  So here is my little critter (I love my hedgehogs...!!!).  This one is an old one, but he is still one of my favorites.  So  I will also enter this card on the Penny Black allsorts blog where you have to use one of your favorites stamp here:  http://pennyblackatallsorts.blogspot.com/2011/06/june-challange.html

So here is the card:


For the details: 

The image is by Penny Black
Greeting:  also Penny Black "Wrap a hug" 3459D
The patterned papers:  Basic Grey 6x6 Sugar Rush Paper Pad
Green border punched with Martha Stewart punch 
The ladybug on leaf is from my stash (bought at Dollar store)
The image was cut with Nestabilities squares
The greeting was overcolored with Pebbles shimmer chalks
and punched with a Stampin'up Label punch.
And the image was colored with Prismacolor crayons
the little red flower was accented with a red Sakura Gel pen
The red flowers are from a roll of ribbon (May Arts?)
The gems in the center are by Hero Arts

On the Penny Black Blog, the challenge this week is to use triangles.  Well my border punch is a series of a little triangles, so I will enter my card there also.

Thanks for visiting my blog!  Have a good day! 

Bonne journée à mes amies francophones et Bonne St-Jean!
