Having begun to explore how to incorporate the Pergamano techniques into my stamping & colouring I was quite thrilled to discover that the theme for this week's posts on the Penny Black blog is "Cardmaking with Vellum" where Kathy Racoosin features various techniques using vellum with Penny Black stamps. As a consequence this week's Penny Black Reader Challenge is to use vellum in a Penny Black stamped project. My card also fits the themes on the other two Penny Black Challenges plus Bunny Zoe's monthly challenge for February.

That frame around the little mouse is just beautiful, I love it. Fantastic job!
I also wanted to stop by and say thank your for always leaving me such lovely comments. I feel bad not being able to get around much and leave them myself. My four kiddos and DT commitments keep me pretty busy, but I always look forward to your comments they are lovely and very much appreciated!
Have a great day!

Hi Paula! I am loving your vellum creations, such pretty designs and what a great idea to add in a cute little bunny for spring! thanks for the tip about the camera and the daylight lamp - I'll try that. I did think I might have to get a little light box, my friend Wynneth has a small one made out of white nylon which seems to do the trick for her - maybe I'll take one of my cards and my camera around to her and try it out. hope you enjoy your weekend.
hugs, annie x
