PBSC May - Anything Goes (Or Use Your Favourite PB Stamp)

It's the first Saturday of the month, so that means it's time for a new Penny Black Saturday Challenge...where the theme is:

'Anything Goes'
or
'Use Your Favourite Penny Black Stamp'

As usual, we are sponsored by the awesome 1-2-3 Stitch:

Prize - a $20 voucher!

My all time favourite Penny Black stamp is also one of the first ones I bought, long before I started blogging...it's 'Birthday Dog'! I'm not sure how long exactly I've had him, but definitely more than ten years...and he's still one of my most used stamps. I coloured him using watercolour pencils, then fussy cut him out. I made a simple background by adding a couple of strips of washi tape (by Dovecraft), and a Hero Arts sentiment (from the 'Anytime Messages' set), then added 'Birthday Dog' popped up on some 3D foam pads.

I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:

• Artistic Inspirations - Anything Goes
• As You Like It - Favourite Animal (Dog - we had lots of dogs as I was growing up, and I have a soft spot for Penny Black ones too)
• Creative Inspirations - Clean & Simple or Fussy & Fancy
• Simon Says Stamp (Wednesdays) - Animal Magic
• Use Your Stuff - Free Week
