Cottonberry Creations: A little bit of fun

A little bit of fun

It's a new month and a new challenge at Penny Black and More. The theme is Dies and punches. A nice easy one for you all. As usual there are lots of lovely prizes up for grabs. Pop over to the blog for all the details.

I decided to make a nice cheerful summery card now that the weather seems to be in our favour for a change. The Penny Black image I used is such fun and I coloured it with water colour paints to compliment the lovely designer paper I used. I cut one oval die cut, and added some red heart brads and a cute sentiment to finish it off.

I have entered my card into several challenges listed below.
