Penny Black 'First' Challenge

Today I share my card for the very first Penny Black Saturday Challenge. The theme was to use the 'First Penny Black stamp' that you bought. For me it was the little chap strolling along playing his violin! I am also using this card for the Cute Card Thursday Challenge to use three different sorts of embellishments on your card with the brads, Flower and Ribbon!

For my card I have used K & Co patterned paper, with a piece of blue card stock covered in white and blue lace over the top. I have embossed a piece of white card with the Music Cuttlebug embossing folder and edged this with a silver Krylon pen. The little hedgehog has been coloured with water colours and there is a second layer to him for depth. I have cut some music die cuts in a blue glitter card and added some silver highlights to them. Embellished with brads, a Flora Doodle flower and ribbon.
