Hello and welcome to Ellibelle's Crafty Wednesday - September challenge taking place right here on my blog! I'm so glad you decided to stop by to check out the new theme and hope you'll play along too! There were some wonderful entries last month, be sure to scroll down to see if your entry made my top 3!
This Month's Challenge
For the month of September I selected the theme of................
Flora and/or Fauna.
Remember, the theme is optional for your inspiration and you may link up any crafty makes. I can't wait to see what you'll share this month!
This post may include some affiliate links, meaning I may earn a small commission if you purchase something through the links. As always, this is at no cost to you. Thank you so much for supporting this blog!
And here is what I made:
For my sample I used some Penny Black stamps I've had for a while.
The cute fox from the Penny Black set
Smile All Day (also available at
Scrapbook.com) has been stamped using
Versafine Onyx ink and colored with
Zig Clean Color markers and a
Zig Detailer water brush on
Bristol Vellum paper.
Related Products:
The flowers are Penny Black's Brushstroke stamp
Dancing Daisies, inked with Distress
inks and markers then very lightly spritzed with water before stamping.
Before adhering to the card base, I stamped the script border stamp (retired
from Whimsy Stamps -
alternative option but completely different text) on the left side using Versafine Onyx ink.
The sentiment is from Penny Black's set
Friendship.
Some of today's products used:

Hi Ellie, I have had to link my entry 81 to my profile photo. It links to the correct post but for some reason I cannot select any of the photos in my post on the linky tools. All other link types are fine just not linky tools. I hope this is okay and sorry for any inconvenience. It is most weird !
