Penny Black Saturday #18


Just in time. I was needing to make a Thank you card and just in time for this awesome challenge over at Penny Black Saturday.
I used copics and spica glitter pens to color in my images. Isn't the cat just so cute. You have to love these PB images. I added some prima flowers with spacers and some SU ribbon the saying at the bottom is also a rub on from SU. I added the photo corners with my SU punch with brads. The Martha Stewart punch was used for the lace.
The paper is from some that my dear friend Claudia had sent me.

Here is the sketch I made for the card if you would like to use it feel free too.

Thanks for a great challenge ladies!
