PBSC December - Anything Goes (Optional 'Winter or Christmas')!

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
'Winter or Christmas'

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

Prize - a $20 voucher!

I went with the optional 'Winter or Christmas' theme...I'm not sure if I need to make any more Christmas cards, but I just can't help myself! I couldn't remember the last time that I inked up 'Snowy', so I thought that it was time that he came out to play...I coloured him using watercolour pencils, then carefully cut him out. I paper pieced his hat and scarf using a snippet of patchwork effect paper from the 'Special Delivery' pad by Helz Cuppleditch. I used another paper from the same pad for the pink snowy background. I doodled a simple border using a black gel pen, and added a sentiment (from a set by C C Designs).

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

• 4 Crafty Chicks - Anything Goes
• As You Like It - Rubber or Digi Stamps? (Definitely rubber...you get instant satisfaction from stamping with a rubber stamp...you can position the stamp wherever you want, and it's so easy to do a technique like paper piecing when you use rubber)
• Crafty Catz - Anything Goes (Optional 'Too Cute')
• Fussy & Fancy - Winter or Christmas
• Jingle Belles - Taking Back December
• Little Miss Muffet - Anything Goes
• Penny's Paper Crafty - Anything Goes
• Simon Says Stamp (Wednesdays) - Anything Goes
• Sweet Stampin' - Snowmen
