Penny Black and More - November Challenge

Today I am sharing my card for the November Penny Black and More challenge, where our theme this month  is "Make Someone Smile". This doesn't have to be a humouros card, any uplifting and cheerful card will be perfect for this challenge.

Penny Black Holly Jolly // Penny Black Season's Gifts // Penny Black Holiday Snippets // Penny Black Oscillations Stencil // Echo Park Stripes Stencil // Zig Clean Color Markers // Zig Detailer Brush // Distress Inks: Antique Linen and Scattered Straw // Wink of Stella Glitter Brush

I started out by heat embossing the image from the Penny Black set  Holly Jolly on Bristol Vellum paper then colored with my Zig Clean Color Markers. The mouse on the right side is a separate image from the set, it's also been heat embossed on a different paper, colored and fussy cut, then attached to the card with dimensional tape. I brushed some Wink of Stella glitter over parts of the image to make it sparkle. I wanted to add some ink to the background so I stamped the image on a sticky note and cut it out - this didn't take long as I didn't need it to be perfect. Placed the sticky masks over my image and then I was able to ink and add the stencil designs. I used one of the patterns from Penny Black's Oscillations stencil on the carpet part of the image and Echo Park's Stripes Stencil for a wall design. The sentiments from the sets Season's Gifts and Holiday Snippets were  stamped directly onto the card front. The card base is Neenah Linen textured 80lb card stock.
