Penny Black at All Sorts February challenge

Here I am again with my second post for the day, scroll down if you'd like to see my "Shades of gray and one other color" card.

Since it's the first of the month it's time for a new challenge at Penny Black at All sorts. Our theme this month is


Say it with flowers.


We also have some super exciting news again, we have a new sponsor joining us every month, in addition to the Penny Black company and PB stamps, we have Letraset joining us, with a chance to win an awesome prize every single month!! They also generously sent every Design Team member a package of their Aquamarkers. Wow, these are AMAZING!! I love how easy they are to use and I love the results!

And here is my card. The stamp I used is called "poppy field".

I used some hot press watercolor paper. I first inked the stamp with versamark ink and then I immediately inked it with versafine onyx and stamped it on the paper. I then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

For my coloring I first used a clean watercolor brush to make it a little but wet, then I added just a little bit of marker on the edges and then pulled the color in with the brush. For darker shadows I just repeated the steps.
I did use a couple of alcohol markers for hedgie's face and hands.

My papers are from bo bunny and card stock is bazzill. I embellished with a couple of layered prima flowers with a button, ribbon and silver cord, and then a punched out butterfly using a martha stewart punch.
The sentiment is from the Penny Black clear set "Critter party".

I'd also like to enter my cards to the following challenges:

• Corrosive challenge (button it up)
• Quirky crafts (stripes spots and embossing)
• Stamp Scrap and Doodle (get punchy)
• Crafty catz (flowers)
• Crafty Sentiments (favorite things - PB hedgies are my most favorite stamps!!)

Now it's your turn to get out those Penny Black cuties and get stamping! I can't wait to see what you make!
