Penny Black and More - Favorite things

Happy Sunday and thanks so much for visiting!!

It's the first Sunday in June, and if you have been following my blog then you know what that means...a new challenge over at Penny Black and more, which again means new prizes to be won! I hope you'll join us!


This should be an easy one for everyone, it's


"Favorite things". 


It was hard to choose a favorite Penny Black stamp because I really love them all! So I just went with one of the very first PB stamps that I purchased, it's called "Water Lily Skiing".




I colored it using my Faber Castell Polychromos pencils, which is another one of my favorite products. I just love how bright the colors turn out. And they are so easy to blend.

I did another brayered background on this card...still learing how to do do it correctly, but I guess it's not too bad.

The image was stamped twice, once onto white cardstock, colored  and then cut  out, then the second time I stamped it onto the brayered background and adhered the cut out image to it.

The palm trees in the foreground are from an old Stampin Up set.

I used a sentiment  from the set "Summer Letter Seals" by Whimsy Stamps.
I am entering the card to the following challenges:

 Remember you don't have to use a penny black stamp, any company rubber or clear stamp works. Can't wait to see what your favorites are!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
