It's the third Saturday of the month, so that means it's time for some more inspiration for this month's Penny Black Saturday Challenge...where the theme is:
'Anything Goes'
or
or
'Bright Colours'
As usual, we are sponsored by the awesome 1-2-3 Stitch:
I used a cute kitty image called 'You're the Bestest!', paired with some brightly coloured papers from an unbranded pad that I picked up in a charity shop, that most likely originally came free with a craft magazine. I stamped the image on to watercolour paper, then coloured it using watercolour pencils. I distressed all of the edges, then added some faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a black gel pen.
I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:
- 2 Crafty Critter Crazies - Anything Goes
- Creative Knockouts - Spring is in the Air
- Daring Cardmakers - Hello Spring
- Fab 'N' Funky - Hand Coloured Images
- My Time to Craft - Animals
- Simon Says Stamp (Wednesdays) - Your Favourite Things (Penny Black stamps, pretty papers & faux stitching)
- Stamping Sensations - Stamp Something for Spring
- We Love Stamping - Anything (Stamped) Spring
For more inspiration from my lovely DT buddies, please pop over to the Penny Black Saturday Challenge.
I think I have that pad too and it was from a magazine. I never see any craft things in charity shops although I give them plenty lol!
ReplyDeleteIt's a fab layout with the papers and the stitching. Your lovely coloured image sits perfectly on it too.
