PBSC July - Anything Goes (Optional 'Food')...More Inspiration!

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

'Happy Birthday'

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

Prize - a $20 voucher!

I've used one of the stamps from the 'Critter Party' set...stamping it on to a snippet of watercolour paper, along with a sentiment from the 'What This!' set by Anita Jerum for the Colorado Craft Company. I coloured it using watercolour pencils, then added some sparkle to the cupcake icing with some Stickles, before cutting out the circle shape using one of my Nesties. For the background, I used a couple of snippets of watercolour effect paper from the 'Watercolour Feeling's pad from The Works...using a 'Cupcakes' embossing folder by Craft Concepts to dry emboss one, and a Simon Says Stamp background stamp called 'Magic Stars' to heat emboss this other in white. I distressed all of the edges, added some faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a white gel pen, and lightly sanded over the dry embossing before assembling the card.

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

• Crafts Galore Encore - Anything Goes

• Gem of a Challenge - Anything Goes
• Simon Says Stamp (Mondays) - Lots of Layers
