Penny Black Saturday Challenge...Week 154

Morning folks..Saturday comes around again and it's time for another challenge over at Penny Black Saturday...the first challenge of June...can you believe we are almost halfway through the year...scary isn't it...before you know...oh no I'm not even thinking about it and no way am I mentioning the "C" word.  And after two glorious summer days..it looks like we are heading for the pants weather again....c'est la vie.
Big thank you to all those who joined in our Girlie Girl challenge last week with lots of fabulous cards and a big slap on the wrists for me....so sorry I didn't manage to get round and visit you all.
The challenge this week is.....
DOODLEBUG...
no need to panic...we just want to see some doodling on your creations...you can keep it simple with some faux stitching or go doodling mad...it's lots of fun...so have a go
and surprise surprise a rare occurrence in the cubbyhole this week....yes it's a card...
I made the background with a Creative Expressions Mask...Polka Dots....inking through the mask with Distress Ink using Brushed Corduroy and a bit of Cut 'n Dry and then with the mask still in place doodled around some of the dots with a Fine Liner Pen.  And I make absolutely no apologies for using this gorgeous Penny Black Image...Cheerful...my new favourite.   Paper pieced the flower with Bo Bunny Time Piece Dots and the leaves with Chocolate Journal...adding some of my favourite brown gingham ribbon and a Craftwork Cards In Circle Message...finishing off with a bit of doodling around the edges.
We have two yummy prizes this week for two lucky winners who will be chosen at random and announced next Saturday.....
