Penny Black Saturday Challenge

This week's PBSC is to decorate the inside of your card. I have done a rapid re-think on hubby's birthday card (one I had made hubby is winging its way to BIL as forgot his birthday oops!!). I had planned to make a bus orientated card as hubby is a little bus obsessed. I had gotr all the pop up bits cut and scored ready to put a bus on - now its a hedgie!!

I have use Katharina's sketch 27 for the layout on the front, and the papers are all K and Co Hopscotch. The braid and wire is from my stash.

Inside I have used blue card and Hopscotch papers. The bow is made using the left overs from the braid on the front.

Gold peel offs finish it off. Just hope he's not too disappointed that its not a bus!!!

Thank you to all of you that have sent best wishes to Ellie - she is still poorly - her tonsils are getting worse still at the moment!! But bless her, she is trying to play and it hasn't affected her ability to talk (sadly!)! I have managed to knock this card together while she is dosed up with painkillers, antibiotics and is having a sleep. Hopefully I will get some sleep later!
