It's the first Sunday of a new month and that means of course that we have a new challenge over at penny black and more! Plus, starting last month already, we will be on the lookout for a guest designer to join us each month.
To be considered, all you have to do is add GD next to your name. It is not required for you to use a Penny Black image, but we do ask that the main focal image has to be a rubber or clear stamp, not a digital stamp. The chosen Guest Designer will then join the team for the following month.
Our challenge this month is
"Animal Magic".
I decided to use the stamp "Skip and Romp". Isn't this a fun image!! Kind of like a barnyard party!
I thought the sentiment "Life of the Party" from Whimsy Stamps "Celebration Circle Sentiments" would be perfect to use.
The papers are from My Mind Eye, I just got the 6x6 pack recently at Hobby Lobby along with a few others.
It's a pretty simple card, I layered the image onto some kraft card stock, then the designer paper, and then again onto a kraft card base. Embellished with some twine, and a button, and did some sewing.
The image was colored with faber castell polychromos pencils.
I would love to enter this to the following challenges:
- Catch The Bug - Anything Goes
- Craftymess Challenge Anything Goes
- Di's Digis Designs Animals acting like People
- Polka Doodles -wings and things
- Stampin With The Dragon - animals
- Crafty Ribbons - Anything but square
Thanks again for visiting! I hope you'll get a chance to play along with us this month for a chance to win one of our amazing prizes by:
Penny Black, Stampalot, Letraset, Little Darlings, Joanna Sheen, &Crimson Cloud.
haha this is so much fun Ellie!!
