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
'Hearts and/or Flowers'
As usual, we are sponsored by the awesome 1-2-3 Stitch:
Prize - a $20 voucher!
No flowers from me this time...just lots of hearts! The cute pup is from the 'Every Which Way' set...I stamped him on to a snippet of watercolour paper, coloured him using watercolour pencils, then carefully cut him out. For the background, I used an unbranded hearts background stamp that I picked up in a charity shop I stamped it on to smooth white card using Versamark Ink, heat embossed it with clear embossing powder, then blended 'Stormy Sky' Distress Ink over the top. I distressed the edges a little, matted it on to some bright pink card (to match the balloon), then added the pup on top using 3D foam pads. The sentiment is from the 'Sending Sunshine' set by Simon Says Stamp...I straightened it out (the stamp is wavy) as I placed it on to an acrylic block, then heat embossed it in white on a snippet of black card, then added that with more 3D foam pads.
