Hello and thanks for stopping by!
It's time for the new - August challenge Penny Black and More !
This month our challenge is simply Anything Goes.
I would love for you to play along. You may use any stamp company you like, we just ask that it has to be stamped and not a digi stamp. As always we have several wonderful prizes up for grabs.
Here is what I created.
This is a very simple card to create, but it took me forever to finally decide on this design. I first was going to create a watercolor wash background, then I ended up cutting the cat out with a circle nestablities. Had the sketch all figured out and even did some sewing but was not happy with the card. Then I ended up fussy cutting the image and created a simple background by spraying dylusions inks on to an acrylic block and stamped that onto the card. I used some postmark sentiments and the matching postage mini die from Whimsy stamps for my sentiment and then added some twine to finish it off.
