Good morning and thanks so much for stopping by! First Sunday of the month means it's time for a new challenge at Penny Black and More. We're making it easy for you this month, anything goes as long as you follow our simple rules. You can find those on the challenge blog.
Spring is not far off now, and we actually had record high temperatures last month while preparing my challenge card. So I decided to make a cute Easter card using the stamp "The Painter and the Bee" by Penny Black. Probably my favorite Easter stamp!
Image has been heat embossed on bristol vellum card stock before coloring with Zig clean color brush pens. The image is pretty large so I kept the focus on that and created a CAS card. A few strips of pretty designer papers from my stash have been used as accents and some twine is finishing off the card. Of course I had to add some wink of stella for some sparkles. The sentiment is from an old Stampin Up Easter set, also heat embossed.
I wanted to bring some color to the inside too, so I stamped the large Happy Easter sentiment from the set Chick to Chick, also by PB.
Again heat embossed and colored with Zig clean color to match the card front.
This month we are being sponsored by Penny Black, Marianne Designs, Fantastic Ribbons and Chalkola, so there are lots of prizes to give away. I hope you'll come join us!
