PBSC - Penny Black-Ground!

Good Morning!

Fingers crossed by the time your reading this I should be enjoying the last few days of my Cruise, hopefully I shall also have a tan by this time! lol

This week at PBSC our theme is Penny Black-Ground, for this we want to see you make a Background from your Penny Black Stamps. I don't usually do this style myself so it was a nice change and I have to admit I'l definitely be doing it again as I love the results. It's just a pity the photograph doesn't really show the different layers very well.

PBSC - Starburst!

Good Morning!

This week at PBSC our theme is Starburst! I was a little stuck for this as I don't use stars on my work that often so I had to ponder over this theme for a while lol In the end I remembered that I had a stamp unused that would fit the Challenge. I used a technique of Heat Embossing on this card and decided to create my on Design Paper!

Unfortunately it was such a pain to photograph so it doesn't quite catch it all properly! I used 3 different Embossing powders - Gold, Silver Pearl & Clear along with a Black Inkpad.

Here is a piccie of the Design Paper before I cut it up for the card:

I think this would make a great paper for a contemporary male christmas card.

This card fits the Challenges at:

PAPER SUNDAES - CHRISTMAS IN JULY

CUPCAKE CRAFT - WISH UPON A STAR

CUTE CARD THURSDAY - FOR HIS EYES ONLY

STAMP SOMETHING - EMBELLISH IT

(You may of noticed that Dew Drops are one of my all-time fave embellishments!)

If you double-click the photo you should be able to see the lighter stamped layers better.
