PBSC - March

 


We're half way through March (already..) and it's time for mid-month reminder at Penny Black Saturday Challenge. As always, the theme is Anything Goes with the optional theme being Easter.


I chose to follow the Anything Goes theme and created a very CAS card with a new stamp from the recent Penny Black release called Share Your Love. This stamp comes from a set of two called Growing Love. I stamped the image a little off the panel and coloured it with my Karin markers. I then used a stencil from the stencil set Background Basics and sponged some Distress Oxide ink in Old Paper on the panel through the stencil. The sentiment I used is from the new sentiment set Love & Light.


Please do pop by the PBSC blog to enjoy all the inspiration from the DT.

Sending Love

I think this little girl is the sweetest ever so I simply had to make another card with her (see the first one here). She is a new stamp by Penny Black called Love's Embrace.


Again, I coloured her with my Karin markers. I wanted to keep the card very simple so I used a stencil from the stencil set Background Basics and inked a rectangle on the card panel with Distress Oxide inks in Old Paper and Antique Linen. I added some flowers that are die cut with Playful Posies die and a sentiment from the new sentiment set Love & Light.

Love's Embrace

This sweet little girl is a new stamp called Love's Embrace from the recent Penny Black release Share Your Love. I love how she is illustrated, there is something so sweet and free about her!


I coloured her with my Karin markers on a panel die cut with a die from the Border Collection set. I inked the edges of the panel lightly with Old Paper Distress Oxide ink. I inked the upper part showing from underneath the panel with Distress Oxide inks in Salty Ocean and Blueprint Sketch before stamping on it with a stamp from the Footnotes set using Blueprint Sketch ink. The flower is die cut with Whisper die and inked with Salty Ocean ink. The sentiment I used is from the new Love & Light sentiment set. After attaching everything in place (I used a bit of craft foam behind the panel), I embellished the card with a single little dark blue button and some twine.

PBSC - March

 


It's time for the March challenge at Penny Black Saturday Challenge. The theme for this month is Anything Goes with the optional theme of Easter.


I chose the Anything Goes theme and created this birthday card with some new stamps from Penny Black. These cute bunnies are from the new stamp set Cuteness and they are so adorable. I stamped them onto my panel, masked them and did a bit of ink blending using a grid stencil from the Penny Black stencil set Background Basics and some Distress Oxide inks. After removing the masks, I coloured the images with my Copics adding touches of white gel pen here and there. The sentiment I used is from the sentiment set Delightful Day. Before adding some enamel dots, I matted the panel onto a piece of black cardstock and adhered it onto my card base.

Guest Designing at CAS on Friday

I have the pleasure of being the Guest Designer for the current challenge at CAS on Friday where the theme is Hello. Thank you so much for having me, ladies!


I went super CAS with my card and kept the elements at a minimum. I created the background with a stencil from the Penny Black stencil set Background Basics and did a bit of ink blending with Distress Oxide inks in Salvaged Patina and Uncharted Mariner before splattering some white watercolour paint onto the circle. I used an older Winnie and Walter die for the word, die cutting it from dark grey cardstock. The flower is die cut with a die from Simply Graphic. I adhered the die cuts in their places and matted the panel onto a piece of dark grey cardstock before embellishing the card with some black gems.


Please be sure to pop by the CAS on Friday blog to see the wonderful inspiration provided by the Design Team and don't forget to join in the challenge!

Simply Spring

I created this simple card with a gorgeous Altenew stamp called Simply Spring. I coloured the image with my Copics and did the background using a stencil from the Penny Black stencil set Background Basics. I ink blended some Distress Oxide inks in Saltwater Taffy and Brushed Corduroy through the stencil before stamping my sentiment on the panel (the sentiment says 'Heartfelt congratulations' in Finnish). Lastly, I embellished the card with some gems.

PBSC - February



It's February and a new challenge has begun at Penny Black Saturday Challenge. The theme is Anything Goes with the optional theme for February being Wings.


I chose the optional theme and used this sweet lil' hedgie flying his plane. The stamp is from the Penny Black stamp set Love Everywhere. I coloured the image with my Copics adding some accents with a white gel pen before die cutting the image with the matching die, Love Everywhere Cut Out. For the background, I used a circle stencil from the stencil set Background Basics and did some ink blending with Distress Oxide inks in Picked Raspberry and Wilted Violet. The sentiment comes from the stamp set In the Air and the little hearts are die cut with Hearts Galore die. I matted my panel onto some pink cardstock before I attached everything in their places.


Hope you can join us at PBSC this month!
