Penny Black and More: August Challenge

It's the first Sunday of the month and that means we have a fun new theme at Penny Black and More challenge ... I Spy Something Beginning With "B". I love this theme and had so much fun looking through my stamps to decide which one I would use. I decided on this cute kitty stamp riding a bicycle. Can you spy my other "b" elements?



The image has been stamped and heat embossed on Bristol Vellum paper with the help of my Tonic Stamp platform and versafine onyx ink.
I colored the image using my Zig Clean Color markers and a Zig Detailer waterbrush. The large sentiment is from the Penny Black set Sweet Wishes stamped with Memento Tuxedo ink and I used a circle die to cut it out. The small sentiment is part of the set Party Friends.




The striped paper is from my stash, no idea what brand as it's been a while since I purchased any patterned papers. One of the banners is part of the stamp set Sweet Wishes, simply cut out after stamping, the other banner was just cut out from watermelon colored card stock. Some May Arts jute twine finishes off the card.
