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
'Easter'
We are currently without a sponsor, so this challenge is just for fun.
I picked a cute little goose stamp from the 'Twelve Days of Christmas' set to decorate my little desk calendar with an 'Easter' theme'. I stamped him on to a snippet of watercolour paper, coloured him using watercolour pencils, then carefully cut him (and the little eggs) out. I made a background using snippets of papers from the 'Hippity Hoppity' pad by Memory Keepers...adding some little clouds cut using a die from the 'Rainbow' set by Sweet Dixie. I distressed the edges a little, then matted it on to a snippet of kraft card before adding it to the calendar.

ReplyDeleteOh Helen, this is utterly charming! I have that set of stamps and, being somewhat dumb and not thinking outside the box, would never have thought to use the little guy in a Spring setting! Perfect! I alos gulped when I saw your Christmas card tally. I have some catching up to do! Yikes.
