Penny Black saturday - a sketch challenge

Hi everyone and thanks so much for visiting my blog today. I loved the sketch at the Penny Black challenge this week so I decided to play along. I really need to get started with more christmas cards so I don't have to rush at christmas time.

I decided to use "Snowy", a Penny Black stamp my husband bought me about a year and a half ago. (Yes he is the best!!)

I stamped it with memento tuxedo black ink on couture white cardstock 80lb. Then used my copics for coloring. I decided to just do some polka dots on the scarf and hat instead of coloring it all in. I thought the designer paper would be great for use with a distressed look, so I sponged all edges with creamy caramel ink and did some distressing.

The papers are from Bo Bunny, I just picked them up at my last trip to the stamping store. I embellished with some buttons and linen thread, punched out snowflakes (Martha Stewart punch), ribbon, sticky rhinestones and of course glitter. I used frosted lace and star dust stickles. To make it complete I decided to do some machine stitching with my janome mini. The sentiment is from Stampin Up.

I am also entering this card (my second) to this month's challenge at Penny Black @ All sorts with the theme of glitter and glitz. They are looking for a couple of Designers to add to their team and that is a spot I couldn't resist applying for. I just LOVE Penny Black stamps.

That is all for today. Hope you like the card as much as I enjoyed making it!

Have a great day!
Ellie.
