Guest Designer at Penny Black Saturday Challenge
Penny Black was one of the first brands I was introduced to when I started making cards and it quickly became a favorite. I was on the PBSC DT from Sept. 2014 through 2017 and I'm delighted to be the GD for January's Anything Goes--Optional Something New challenge. I goofed and didn't email my card to Helen in time for the initial post. But today we're reminding you that there's still plenty of time to enter the challenge. Here's my card.
A long time ago I was given PB Graceful Wings die and I'd never used it. So glad I finally pulled it out, as it's absolutely beautiful! I die cut it twice from a soft red shimmer envelope and gently lifted the top wings. For the background, I stamped PB music background and a branch from PB xmas sprig in gray ink on a gray panel. The sentiment is from PB enamor.
I added the darker gray frame, attached the butterfly and added 3 dark silver gems. Why not pull out your Penny Black goodies and enter the challenge? Favorites will be picked and one lucky entrant will win a voucher to 123 Stitch.
