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
'Embossing'
(Heat or Dry)
We're currently without a sponsor, so this challenge is just for fun.
This time, I used heat embossing...and stamped my 'Blossom Branch' stamp onto some kraft card using Versamark ink. I heat embossed it using 'Metallic Gold' embossing powder from WOW. I added a sentiment (using a stamp from the 'Signature Greetings' set by Memory Box), and a couple of little butterflies (using stamps from the Penny Black 'Wonderful Day' set), heat embossing in gold to match. I used Cosmic Shimmers to watercolour the butterflies, then matted the panel onto some gold mirror card, distressing all of the edges.
I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:
- Beautiful Blossoms - Anything Goes
- Just Us Girls - Birthday
- Lil Patch of Crafty Friends - Anything Goes
- Little Red Wagon - Use Kraft Card
- Stamping Sensations - Birds, Bees & Butterflies
- We Love Stamping - Flowers
Very elegant and pretty!
