Penny Black Saturday - September 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  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. 

INGREDIENTS -
Penny Black Stamp

Distress Markers
Green Adhesive Pearl & Doodlebug Sprinkles

Today I'm sharing another card that I've made using the most recent release from LOTV.

Today's card is fairly minimal as I've kept the embellishments and layers down to a small amount in order to make a fairly quick and easy card.

INGREDIENTS -

Design Papers from my stash
White Frantage Embossing Powder
