Penny Black Saturday - June 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  '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.

Penny Black Saturday - January 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  '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.

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

 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  Wings!'
I haven't played along with the optional theme as I wanted to use this dinky stamp on this month's card. Last year I made a couple of small 3x3 cards with my smaller PB stamps and this one joins the set. Purposely kept C&S it makes them versatile for any occasion or even just as little note cards.

Today we have a new challenge over at PENNY BLACK SATURDAY CHALLENGE. 
This month's challenge is 'Anything Goes with the Option of  Lot's of Layers!'
I haven't played along with the option this month as I wanted to use this Pumpkin stamp that I've had in my collection for a few years. Pumpkins are one of my favourite things to grow so I do like to try and make something with this stamp each year. 

I inked the stamp up with Distress Markers and then used a water brush to blend it on the paper, adding a few dark orange speckles to finish off. I've kept it sentiment free so that it can be used for any occasion.
