PBSC March - Anything Goes (Optional 'CAS')...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
'Clean & Simple'

As usual, we are sponsored by the awesome 1-2-3 Stitch:
Prize - a $20 voucher!

I used three of the bunnies from the 'Bunny Friends' stamp to make a really simple card. I coloured the bunnies using watercolour pencils, then carefully cut them out...removing them from their flowerpots too. I cut a fence for them to gossip over using my 'Picket Fence' die by Die-namics from plain white card, added it to a kraft card blank, then popped the bunnies peeking over the top using 3D foam pads. The sentiment is from the 'Sending Sunshine' set by Simon Says Stamp.


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

New Year Fireworks

I have a 'Happy New Year' card to share today...it was a requested make, and as I'm not at home and have a very edited collection of my stash with me, this is what I came up with! I created a firework display using Hero Arts stamps (the sentiment and smallest 'firework' are from the 'Sentiments' set), and hand drawn fireworks (done using a Versamark Ink pen), which I heat embossed using WOW embossing glitters (I used Metallic Gold Sparkle, Fool's Gold, Emerald City, Magical Mauve and Coral Reef). I used Lawn Fawn and Die-namics dies to cut the hills and grass from snippets of green card, then added some little critters to watch the display (from the 'Wish Upon a Star' set by Lawn Fawn), which I coloured using watercolour pencils, then carefully cut out.

Balloon Trios

I have a trio of balloon-y cards to share today...featuring a set of dies by Die-namics (called 'Party Balloons').


I started by 'smooshing' Distress Inks on to pieces of watercolour paper...colours used: Blues (Broken China, Mermaid Lagoon, Peacock Feathers & Cracked Pistacio); Oranges (Wild Honey, Scattered Straw, Spiced Marmalade & Fired Brick); and Purples (Seedless Preserves, Picked Raspberry, Wilted Violet & Blueprint Sketch). I added a couple of layers of ink (drying in between each application) then splattered with some water droplets and removing with a paper towel to lighten the colour. I cut one of each of the balloon shapes from each colour to give me enough balloons for three cards. I stamped the 'Happy Birthday' sentiment from the 'Handwritten Borders' set by Simon Says Stamp for the string of the centre balloon on each card, then doodled strings for the other two using a black gel pen. I also doodled some 'string' around the bottom of each of the balloons, then added them to my cards...popping the middle one up using 3D foam pads.

Floating by...

Today's card is for the birthday of a friend. My starting point was wanting to feature some balloons...I'm not sure how it ended up with a floating pig! The pig is a digi stamp from Hambo...I coloured him using watercolour pencils, then fussy cut him out (removing the balloon and flowers from the image). I created the background scene using simple coloured card and my Lawn Fawn 'Stitched Hillside' border dies, and my Memory Box 'Puffy Clouds' dies. I cut the balloons using my Die-namics 'Party Balloons' dies, added some numbers cut using my Cuttlebug 'Olivia' alphabet dies, then tied them around the pig using some rainbow twine. I popped them all up using 3D foam pads, then added a little mouse (from the Penny Black 'Hello Friend' set & coloured using watercolour pencils) and a sentiment from the 'Anytime Messages' set by  Hero Arts.

I made a little background scene using papers from the 'Here + There' pad by Studio Calico and dies by Lawn Fawn (Stitched Hillside Borders), Die-Namics (Picket Fence & Grassy Edges), and Memory Box (Puffy Clouds). The sentiment stamp is from the 'Egg-cellent Easter Sentiments' set by AmyR/C C Designs.

Winter Wonderland

I have a winter wonderland themed card to share today, made using lots of die cuts. I used lots of plain-ish papers from a mixture of BasicGrey pads (the browns, greens & white) and and Echo Park (the blue one). The trees are a Marianne Designs die, the fence is by Die-namics, and the reindeer is by Die-sires. I embossed the blue background using my Cuttlebug 'Swiss Dots' folder to look like a snowy sky, and inked over the edges of everything using 'Picket Fence' Distress Ink. The sentiment stamp is from the 'Bubble Tree' set by Woodware, and I couldn't resist adding a red pearl for Rudolph's red nose!

Pile It On! Challenge - Hallowe'en/The Witching Hour



This week at the Pile It On! Challenge our theme is:

'Hallowe'en/The Witching Hour'

We are sponsored for this challenge by Digital Delights:

I've decorated a Hallowe'en treat bag using a plain bag from Hobbycraft, and a Penny Black cat stamp from the 'Be very scared!' set. I created a scene using Bo Bunny 'Whoo-ligans' papers and some Die-namics' dies (Party Balloons, Picket Fence & Grassy Edges).
