Happy Saturday everyone! Hope you're having a fabulous weekend so far! We are being snowed in again (!) today, and since it's been a week from my last post, I thought I'd stamp off this cute image and get coloring. Wasn't sure if I would have time to actually make a card out of it, but I did, so here it is.
I found this stamp at Michaels, it was the first time I had ever seen Penny Black stamps there, so of course I had to get it, not to mention they were 40% off...can't wait to go again to see if they have any new ones in. Wish it wasn't an hour drive to get there :-(
I colored the image using copic markers on xpress blend it card.
As you can see I kept the card pretty simple, just layered the image onto kraft card stock, then added a strip of designer paper. Did some machine sewing and then I added a couple of die cut hearts with the sentiment. Added a little clear button with some twine and then adhered the complete card front to the white base.
I would love to enter my card into the Penny Black challenge which is being held on the official Penny Black Blog. The challenge theme there is "Love or Friendship".
Also entering it to Penny Black Saturday challenge with the theme of "New" (I used a brand new to me stamp). At Color Me Creative the challenge is "texturize it" I used several shades of markers to create texture on the hedgie's frills and the grass.
Finally a little reminder about the Penny Black and More challenge, this month our theme is "Love is in the air" and we'd love to have you join us. You don't have to use a Penny Black stamp, any stamps are welcome, we just ask that no digis are used please. And don't forget you may enter up to 3 times for a chance to win. As usual we have several fabulous prizes up for grabs.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!!
