Bountiful at PBSC

Good morning everyone,

It's already the first Saturday of September, which means it's also time for our Penny Black Saturday Challenge.

This month the theme is ...

Anything Goes 

Option : Spots and Stripes

This little cutie is a rubber stamp called 'Bountiful'.

I've coloured him with promarkers and copics.
The background papers are from my box of scraps, but I think they are from Make and Create and Echo Park. I've used a die namics picket fence die, a Creative expressions peony die, a Spellbinders leaf die and a sentiment stamp from Lili of the Valley.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:-

Simon Says Stamp - Stamp It

I Love Promarkers - Anything Goes

As You Like It - Layers or Flat. I love layers and lots of them! I like to use lots of patterned papers and always layer them onto card. I then realise it won't even fit in an envelope never mind trying to keep it flat for postage!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my little blog and for all your comments and encouragement

Have a lovely weekend.

Acrobat - PBSC DT

Good morning everyone,

It's the 1st Saturday in May which means it's time for our Penny Black Saturday Challenge.

This month the theme is ...

Anything Goes or

Option : Monochrome

This little cutie is a rubber stamp called 'Acrobat'.

I've coloured him with promarkers and copics, and added glitter to the cobweb - although the sparkel isn't realluy showing up! The background papers are from Craft Creations and Make & Create. I've used a  Spellbinders decorative grand circle die, a Creative Expressions peony die, and a Joanna Sheen rose leaf die. The sentiment stamp is computer generated.

 
I'd like to enter the following challenges:-

Simon Says Stamp -  Anything Goes

Crafty Catz - Anything Goes : Option May Flowers

Passion for Markers - Birthdays

Allsorts Challenge - Inspired by a Song : Tightrope from The Greatest Showman (Love all of the songs from this film!)

As You Like It - Soft or Bold Colours - I love both soft  and bold colours so it does usually depend on the type of card I'm making. When Mr Mojo has gone on his holidays I do find softer coloures easier and more forgiving to work with.

I can't believe that I only managed to post 1 card for the whole of April. I would like to say I'll do better in May, but cricket season has started so I don't get that much time now.
