PBSC March - Anything Goes (Optional 'Bright Colours')!

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
'Bright Colours'

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

Prize - a $20 voucher!

I used brightly coloured papers to make the background for my desk calendar page for March. They're actually Christmas papers, from the 'Colourful Christmas' collection by My Mind's Eye...so, so old, and I only have snippets left, so this was a good way to use some of the really little ones. I distressed the edges a little, then added some faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a black gel pen. The image is 'Totally Excited!'...I stamped it on to some watercolour paper, coloured it using watercolour pencils, then cut it out using one of my circle Nesties.

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

• C.R.A.F.T. - Not a Card
• Creative Fingers - Anything Goes
• Pixie's Snippets Playground - Use Snippets
• Simon Says Stamp (Wednesdays) - Add a Die Cut (the circle shape)
