PBSC September - Anything Goes (Optional 'Use a Die')

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

'Use a Die'

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

I picked a Penny Black die to use on my card, and started by cutting the 'Immense Joy' from a snippet of bright red card. I then used the die to cut the centre of the 'O' from a snippet of white card, then stamped my Penny Black 'Jingle Friends' stamp onto that, then coloured it using watercolour pencils. I made a simple background by embossing a piece of white card using a snowflake embossing folder from Sizzix, then matted it onto a piece of bright red card. I added the die cut on top, inserting the coloured image into the centre of the 'O', then added it to a white card blank.

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

• Can You Handle the Pressure - Anything Goes with an Embossing Folder
• Christmas Cards All Year Round - R & S (R is for Rudolph & S is for Santa)
• Christmas Kickstart - Reindeer Games
• Creative Moments - Make it Cute
• Simon Says Stamp (Wednesdays) - Stamp It
• Sweet Stampin' - Use a Die Cut
