An old favourite!

Morning Folks!
It's a bank holiday weekend here in the UK and the weather forecasters are predicting it's going to be hot - amazing!
Bring it on is all I can say!! I need some decent sunshine!
I hope you have something nice planned for the weekend.

As it is the first Saturday of the month, a new challenge is just starting over at Penny Black Saturday Challenges and as usual 
ANYTHING PENNY BLACK GOES
The optional 'Extra' challenge this time is
Use Your Favourite Penny Black Stamp

Goodness me, I think this has to be one of the toughest challenges ever!! I mean really where to start - I have sooo many favourite PB stamps - I really struggled to choose. I must have wasted at least an hour trying to make up my mind. In the end I decided to use this little cutie:
The stamp is called Delights and I opted for this one because I think (??) it is the first PB hedgehog stamp I ever bought and my addiction has just spiralled from there! I love the simplicity of this stamp, which makes it suitable for lots of occasions.

Here's the card I made:

Card Details:
Penny Black 'Delights' coloured with promarkers
Embossing Folder - Crafter's Companion English Country Garden Collection - Delicate petals
Papers - Dovecraft Back to Basics Berry Blush and scraps
Sentiment - LOTV
Memory Box 'Pippi' Butterfly die cut 
Pearls, gems and ribbon from stash.

I do hope you'll pop over to the main blog, just click on the picture below, to see which stamps the rest of the design team used on their inspiration cards.
