<i style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; font-size: large;">I'm sorry to say this is going to be my last post as a member of the PBSC design team. There just aren't enough hours in the day lately to do everything, and sadly card making is becoming another 'to do' rather than a pleasure. I've had a lot of fun over the last few years with PBSC themes and I'd like to wish Helen and the rest of the DT all the very best for the future!</i><br />
<i style="color: #444444; font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; font-size: large;">Here's my card, it had to include Penny Black hedgehogs as this is why I first fell in love with PB stamps. This one is called 'What a Snow':</i></div>

<i style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif; font-size: large;">Here's my card using a stamp from Creative Expressions called Zentangled Flower Square. This was such a fun stamp to colour although it did take a while!! I rather stupidly coloured the stamp before thinking about adding a sentiment - yep cart before horse again!! To save messing up, I cut around the frame and aperture and then decided which sentiment to use. Good job I didn't risk my first choice of sentiment because it was too big! In the end I stamped this woodware sentiment in Versamagic and then stuck the coloured frame over the top. Finished off with a few sparkly gems.</i></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><i>This challenge is perfect for me, as you know I mainly enjoy colouring up animal stamps.

Still sad the shop has closed because it was one of my very favourite digi stamp suppliers :-(</i></span></div>
