Penny Black Saturday - September Challenge

      Good Morning!
Today's card is for the new challenge over at PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE.
This month's challenge is 'Anything Goes with the Option of  'Use A Die!'
I always enjoy making Christmas cards so I thought I'd make one for this month's challenge. I've used an image received by a fellow crafter many moons ago so unfortunately I don't know the name, it's definitely a cutie though!INGREDIENTS -

          Good Morning!

It's time for a new challenge over at PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE.
This month's challenge is 'Anything Goes with the Option of  'Pastel Colours!'
I haven't played along with the theme personally as I wanted my design paper to match the lemonade that the mice are having. I've kept the design fairly simple so as the attention is mostly on the image and added extra clear dew drops as I thought they rather looked like bubbles!

      Good Morning!

It's time for a new challenge over at PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE.
This month's challenge is 'Anything Goes with the Option of  'Snow/Snowmen!'
I've made a clean & simple set of cards, one in a regular square shape and the other on a more slender base. I do enjoy making less fussy cards once in a while, the only thing is they never seem to photograph too well!

      Good Morning!

Yesterday we launched a new challenge over at PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE.
This month's challenge is 'Anything Goes with the Option of  'Music!'
I didn't play along with the theme as I needed to make a birthday card and chose to use this floral stamp. It is in fact a Christmas stamp but is versatile enough to be used throughout the year.INGREDIENTS -

I haven't played along with the theme this month as I need to bulk up my Christmas card stash. This stamped image is one that I was gifted by a fellow crafter many moons ago so I all I know is that it is one of their much older designs, unfortunately I don't know the name.

      Good Morning!

Today we have a new challenge over at PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE. 
This month's challenge is 'Anything Goes with the Option of  'Stitching'.
I've created a simple sentiment free card which is perfect for any last minute Thank You/Sympathy/Just a Note occasions, there's always a time when you need a card for one of those but don't have one to hand so I like to keep a few simple cards ready just incase.

Penny Black Saturday - May Challenge

     Good Morning!

Today we have a new challenge over at PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE. 
This month's challenge is 'Anything Goes with the Option of  'Monochrome'.
To play along with this theme I decided to create a C&S thank you card using one of the smaller wooden PB stamps and kept it simple by only adding a sentiment and some clear dew drops. I rather like the simplicity of the card and will more than likely re-create it in different ink colours so that I've got a go to stash of these in my collection :)INGREDIENTS -

  Good Morning!

Today we have a new challenge over at PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE. 
This month's challenge is 'Anything Goes with the Option of  'Hearts'.
I have used an older stamp design that I had tucked away in a box of stamped images received from fellow crafters so unfortunately I don't know the name of this particular design. I've also kept the card sentiment free so that it's versatile enough to use for more than occasion when needed.

 Good Morning!

Today we have a new challenge over at PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE. 
This month's challenge is 'Anything Goes with the Option of  'Something New'.

I haven't played along with the theme as the only new thing I've purchased recently are Christmas design papers and today's card certainly isn't Christmassy lol I've coloured this PB stamp in fresh spring yellows & greens and layered it onto a white on white background. The papers I've used are actually embossed with different designs but unfortunately this is really hard to tell in the photograph :(INGREDIENTS -

Penny Black Saturday - December Challenge!

Good Morning!
Today we have a new challenge over at PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE. 
This month's challenge is 'Anything Goes with the Option of  'Winter Wonderland'.

I played along with this month's theme by using one of the foliage cling stamps as I've interpreted the wonderland part as Nature. I wanted to add a little bit of colour so I've used a green distress ink blended behind the image and also highlighted the mistletoe berries with Stickles frosted glitter.

I haven't played along with the theme this month as I wanted to use one of the old T'-Sets by Penny Black that I'd had for a while for a C&S card. This set is based on the Christmas song '12 Days of Christmas' and I've created a simple card using the design for '5 Golden Rings'.
