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
'Your Favourite Colours'
or
'Your Favourite Colours'
My favourite colour is blue, more specifically shades of teal and turquoise...and I used those colours to make a Christmas card. The image I picked is 'Angel Cat'...I stamped it on to watercolour paper, coloured it using watercolour pencils, adding a pearlescent sheen to his wings with pearl watercolour paint, then carefully cut him out. I made a simple background by brushing some of the blue & green shades of pearl watercolour paint on to an acrylic block, then stamped the block on to watercolour paper. Once dry, I distressed the edges a little, then matted the panel on to blue glitter card before adding it to my teal card blank. I cut the sentiment using my Poppy Stamps 'Folk Merry Christmas' die from more of the blue glitter card.
I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:
- Christmas Kickstart - Festive Furbabies
- Crafty Cardmakers - Things with Wings
- Cute Card Thursday - Anything Goes
- Polkadoodles - Anything Goes
- Simon Says Stamp (Wednesdays) - Stamp
- Sparkles Forum Christmas - Thinks withWings
