Green and Black

Dynamic Duos have the challenge to use Pear Pizzazz and Basic Black this week.
This was a first time out for my PTI Harvest Berries stamps.
I stamped in black and clear embossed the leaves before sponging colour over the entire panel. I then overstamped with the green to add a shadow effect and then added the dots... presumably the berries from the stamp set.
The border is punched with an SU punch and the tag is from Lilli of the Valley.
We discovered that the hot water cylinder has been leaking and the ceiling in the dining room, which is beneath the tank, is damaged and decidedly damp! I await the plumber as I type!
Two days ago the microwave exploded. There was a loud bang and the fuse tripped. A replacement will  cost approaching £800. Oh Dear! We'll never be rich!

    Fabulous card and colour too.

    Hope you don't have to wait too long for your plumber and hope you find a replacement microwave on sale somewhere too .... ours did something not dissimilar but we were able to get hold of an ex-display model on e-bay - we bid for it, a FRACTION of the cost of new but never actually plugged in! - just a thought

    Stunning card - that's my fave PTI set so you've reminded me I must play with it again soon.

    Hope you get the plumbing sorted and find a cheaper microwave!

    Wow Chrissie this is gorgeous! That shadow technique is so amazing such a wonderful 3D effect:) Sorry to hear about your disasters hopefully the adage about coming in threes isn't true! We bought all our kitchen appliances from www.appliancesonline, amazing free, fast delivery and videos of all the goods. Just a thought:)

    Loving the colour combo and the stamps you've used are gorgeous, resulting in a stunning card. It's a bummer when household items go wrong and cost money, you have my sympathy. Hugs Bev x
