Ellibelle's Crafty Wednesday - August Challenge

Hello everyone and welcome to the August edition of Ellibelle's Crafty Wednesday challenge where you are invited to link up all your crafty makes! 

There were so many fabulous creations shared during the months of June and July, thank you all so much and be sure to scroll down to see who made the Top Picks with a Twist. As the challenge ran for 2 months, there are 2 sets of top picks with a twist, so 6 creations in total.

As most of you know, the theme is now always ....



Anything Goes


and instead of a challenge theme there will be a "Top Pick Twist", meaning I will select a twist from all of the entries for the Top 3. Nobody will know what the twist will be (not even me) until the end of the challenge. So do link up all of your crafty makes, your entry might be the one inspiring the Top Pick twist :)

And here is what I made for this month:


It's been a little while since I made a cute card so I decided to ink up this cute Penny Black stamp for this month's card. I used Copic colors for coloring and then fussy cut the image. I wanted to work with an inky (brushos) background but somehow I just couldn't make it work which left me with a few "extras" of inky backgrounds. After struggling for some time (somehow this seems to happen a lot to me recently 😄) I decided to make a CAS card with some of my favorites that always seem to work out - Lavinia's Feather Leaf stencil and Whimsy Stamps script border (retired). 

I rounded the bottom corners, added the sentiment (Penny Black Sweet Wishes), some staples and the cute butterfly (Penny Black Soaring die set) to finish off the card.
