Mans Best Friend - Penny Black Saturday Challenge DT

Good Morning Everyone
It's the 1st Saturday of March, which means it's time for our Penny Black Saturday Challenge. Our theme this month is ....

ANYTHING GOES 

(Option : Bright Colours)

I've used a couple of cling stamp from the fabulous 'Mans Best friend' set.

I've coloured them with promarkers and copics. I fussy cut one of the smaller stamps from the set and added him on 3d foam pads. The background papers are from Echo Park and bits from my scrap box. I've used a die-namics fence die, a Lawn Fawn weather die and an x-cut flower punch. The sentiment stamp is from Lili of the Valley.
 

Our sponsor this month is 1-2-3 stitch with a £10 voucher for one lucky winner.

                                                           

I'd like to enter the following challenges:-

Simon Says Stamp - Add a Die Cut

Crafty Catz - Anything Goes

Through the Craft Room Door - Anything Goes

As You Like It - Interactive or Not (I've opted for the 'not'. I never make interactive cards - I love the idea of them but always run out of time, and end up with a general 6" square card!) 

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

Have a lovely weekend.
