Quote the Raven, Nevermore and Smeared & Smudged Blog Hop

Good Morning Everyone :)

I hope you are all well :)  Thank you very much for all your kind comments on my previous post :)

Today I have lots of exciting news to share with you :D........today is the day we announce the winner of that Fabulous Candy at Quoth the Raven, Nevermore.  Also,  today we are launching our Very First Challenge !!!  ......... and of course the theme for our first challenge is........... Edgar Allan Poe's  poem 'The Raven'.
The Challenge will run for two weeks, all projects are welcome, just so long as you follow the theme of the challenge.

Also, Today we have the January Members Blog Hop from Smeared and Smudged..... the theme for the blog hop is Mesh It!  If you have arrived from the very talented Black Dragon's blog, then you are on the right track.

Enough of my blah and here is my card for both events :)

This card is made up of several layers......... attached to the base card is the Mesh, which was a bit bright .....so I inked it with my Black Stazon...... but it's still a bit bright!  Next is a digi DP from Crafty Chaos Designs.......wrapped around the DP is a piece of velvet ribbon with a black chain running up the centre.  Next is the image by Wursu from Deviantart.  For embellishments, I have used feathers and a broken broach.... both from my stash.  For the sentiment I have used a stamp by Cherry Pie Stamps heat embossed in black.
