As it's the first Saturday of the month, the
Penny Black Saturday Challenge is another 'CASE IT' challenge...and this time it's my turn. Here's the card I've chosen for you to CASE:
We have two wonderful sponsors this week:
And from the
Ribbon Girl, we have this gorgeous mini kit:
I've used the same stamp ('Irises' by Penny Black)...but in a different colour combination...I watercolour stamped it using 'Spiced Marmalade', 'Fired Brick' and 'Forest Moss' Distress Inks...blending 'Old Paper' around the edges. I also embossed the backgrounds as in my previous card...on Core'dinations card in matching Distress Ink colours...using my Cuttlebug 'Swiss Dots' and 'Victoria' folders...sanding over the surface to reveal the cores. I kept the layout similar to my original card, with some custom dyed seambinding ribbon, and pearls, adding a sentiment (stamped using a stamp from the 'Fabulous Birthday' set by Hero Arts).
I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:
