PBSC June - Anything Goes (Optional 'Stitching')

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

'Stitching'

We are currently without a sponsor, so this challenge is just for fun.

I picked a chicken stamp to use on my card...this one is called 'Cluck, Cluck, Cluck!'. I stamped it onto watercolour paper, added a sentiment using a stamp from the 'What This!' set by Anita Jeram for the Colorado Craft Company, then coloured it using watercolour pencils. I used lots of snippets of papers from an old Craft Sensations pad called 'Bright Freshness' to make a 'patchwork'  background...distressing all of the edges and adding some faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a black gel pen. I matted the image and background onto some orange card, then added it to an 8x8 card blank.

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

• Crafty Animals - Anything Goes
• Creative Fingers - Anything Goes
• Krafty Chicks - Birthday
• Lil Patch of Crafty Friends - Anything Goes
• Penny's Paper Crafty - Anything Goes
