Penny Black Saturday Challenge-Something New or ATG

           

                                  Penny Black  Saturday Challenge-

Mid Way January Inspiration

'Anything Goes'

or our optional theme-

Something New

I was browsing over at 123 Stitch several weeks ago...and a bunch of new Penny Black stamps fell into my shopping cart. I loved the cuddly bears and the stamp sets I bought were more 'words of encouragement' type sets. I just didn't have any stamps like them. 

And then it happened-
(I don't normally put  personal information on my blog-I know you are here for crafting...)


I needed to make a card like this...I need lots of them. A dear family member has been diagnosed with an extremely serious form of  Leukemia. My heart is breaking just thinking of the fight she has ahead of her. I am asking if you could all keep her in your thoughts and prayers, I would be forever grateful. 

My card today used a couple of my new stamps from 123 Stitch and some very pretty MME paper. I colored with copics and paper pieced the little cushion the bears are sitting on. 

Stamps used:

Bear Cuddle
and
Strength Mini
