Penny Black gratulerer med dagen!

Mine håpefulle og jeg skal kjøre nordover i dag - 80 mil skal tilbakelegges før vi er fremme hos mamma :/ E6 fylt med bobilturister - blir gøy, ja! Dette kortet skal være med i bagasjen, mamma hadde bursdag for en uke siden, og jeg klarte ikke å få ferdig kortet hennes til dagen. Så da må hun få det nå. Bedre sent enn aldri - en klar favoritt på ordtakfronten :)

I've made this birthday card for my mom, and this will be my contribution for this week's Penny Black Challenge :)

All the pattern paper is MME 'wild aspargus' (front and back of it). The image is painted with Distress Ink and LePlume. I've cut out the hedgehogs and mounted them on the back of a pattern paper. I found these paper roses at a hobby store (Lines Hobby i Tønsberg) . They are mounted together with a ribbon and a brown thread, and then thread through a horizontal slut punched hole together with a checked ribbon.
At the inside of the card I've written a recipe for rose jelly, and mounted it at a piece of pattern paper. These leaves came from Camilla, and was so perfect - looks precisely like rose leaves :)
Usually as I cut the Bazzill for a card sized 15x15 cm, there's 0,5 cm left over. At this card I made a double fold in the back instead, and placed a pink ribbon there. Then I got a bit more space at the inside, so I could put a rose here as well. You can hardly see it, but there's a needle thread through the pink ribbon, to make the rose and the leaves and the linen thread and the pink ribbon stick together. The key came from Caroline :) Here you can see how the pink ribbon continues at the back of the card. I've finished it by using the same sketch in miniature.
Jupp jupp - da skal det pakkes til tur :) Etter planen skal vi holde oss i nord et par uker, men jeg forsvinner ikke helt herfra likevel asså, for vi har kjøpt mobilt bredbånd *hehe* og jeg kommer til å legge ut blog candy her i løpet av denne uka - følg med, den blir bra ;)

Me and my kids (well... youths) will be driving up north later today, to visit my mom. We'll stay there for a couple of weeks, but I won't disappear from the blog, just slow down the card production a bit :) And during this week I'll make a blog candy, so keep the visiting up ;) and have a nice day!
