Cottonberry Creations: Penny Black and sketch

Penny Black and sketch

Here we at the beginning of September and time for another Penny Black and More challenge. This month the challenge is "Autumn colours" with the option of using the sketch provided. I have used the sketch and Autumnal colours. As usual there are some lovely prizes up for grabs so pop over to the blog and check out the details. The sponsors for September are Penny Black, Flonz, Crafty Ribbons and stix2.
I used the cute PB image called Honey Bear No 1333K. I cannot remember where I got him from but it was probably a stamped image swap. He is so cute and fits beautifully on a large oval die cut. I used 1 sheet of designer paper, an oblong card off cut (I cut the ends) a strip of lace, a bow, crystal brads and I punched out a square and cut it diagonally to make a quick corner piece. I also glued together 3 different flowers to make a nice high floral embellishment.
I have entered my card into the challenges listed below.
