I found a new challenge site (for me at least) ~ Penny Black @ Allsorts It looks fun so thought I'd give it a go.... I also decided to try the sketch at Our Creative Corner. I started my card with a bit of background I had made last week. I had been playing with my new Hero Arts Classic Fabric background cling and some variegated dye pads ( Kaleidacolor inks) and made a few different colour combos.
The one I chose here is blues and greens so I mounted it onto some soft blue bazzill.
The lovely Penny Black stamped image was sent to me by Paula quite some time ago...she very generously sent me a whole pile which I am slowly working through....I cut it out with a Nestibility die and then while it was still in the die, sponged the edges with blue and green. I then used distress inks to colour in the image. I finished by painting over the lot with some Iridescent Medium mixed with water to give it a shimmer. The sentiment is also by Penny Black.
And talking about Love.... look at the love I received in the mail over the past few weeks...
firstly from Virginia... a card that left Canada 10th December and finally arrived in NZ 6th January!!!!
Hope your week is wonderful wherever you are.... Auckland is still enjoying wonderful summer weather.... another corker weekend finished.
