Penny Black Saturday challenge - midway reminder card

Hello friends; it's another busy day on my blog today as I have two cards to share with you. The first is my second card as guest designer for the Penny Black Saturday challenge. They have a midway reminder post and I was delighted to join in again.  The challenge is 'ATG' but has an optional twist of 'bright colours'.

For today's card I once again did not use a hedgie stamp but instead chose a very old girl stamp called 'sweet thing'.  I can't actually recall using this stamp but if I did it was a VERY long time ago.  I went with some pretty, girly papers and I think it turned out adorable.  I hope you like it too. 

Here is my card:

A closer look at the details:

Plus I decorated the inside:

I began by stamping the image onto a scrap of alcohol marker friendly card and coloured it with my Promarkers.  I added some white highlights and fussy cut it out.  I cut a white panel 4" x 5 1/4" and used left over pieces of patterned paper to create a fun layout.  I added the paper onto the white panel with liquid glue.  I die cut a stitched square from white card and added the image onto this with foam squares.  At this point I decided to cut out my background panel with a stitched rectangle so that it would match the image panel.  I added some scrap white card behind the square image panel and adhered it to my background with liquid glue.  I stamped the sentiment in black onto white card and used a stitched label die to cut it out.  I added this at the top of the panel with foam squares.  I die cut one flower from white card and added it in the top right of the square panel with liquid glue.  I finished off with some yellow pearls.  The panel was adhered to my card base using double sided tape.   For the inside I die cut another white panel with the stitched rectangle.  I used some of the left pieces of patterned paper and also cut them out using the stitched rectangle so that they would match the stitching.  I adhered the papers to the bottom of the panel with liquid glue and stamped my sentiment in the centre with black ink.  I also added one more flower over the patterned paper with liquid glue.  I adhered the panel to my card base using double sided tape.
