Penny Black meets Allsorts

I am not one for combining challenges, I do see it as a bit of a cheat. It's easy to make a challenge fit a card for butterflies by saying there's a butterfly sitting on Tilda's shoe! But if you think about it, it doesn't really does it? The focus is really the Tilda and not the butterfly. That's why I like the rules on the Penny Black Challenge Blog they are very clear, the focus of the card MUST be a Penny Black stamp. The Allsorts Challenge Blog has rules as well, the card can be entered in as many challenges as possible but it MUST follow the weeks theme. Both blogs don't mind combining with other challenges. Rules are good because there's no misunderstanding. I have to admire cardmakers who make cards fit as many as 10 challenges, how is it done? Well I realised today that I had combined two challenges. I put out the things I wanted to use for my two challenges and made up a card for the first one. When I looked at it I had actually used everything that was out and that was intended for both cards. I am therefore entering a card into two challenges this week. My goodness what must I have needed out on my counter to combine 10 challenges? It was fun but accidental and I stuck to the rules!

This card was made for Penny Blacks Lets get Punchy and on Allsorts they asked that the card have Animals as the focus.
