Hi everyone! Popping in today with a reminder there's still time to play along in the Penny Black Saturday Challenge. It's always anything goes, but our optional theme this month is "use a die". I do have a die or two in my toybox, so I went that route.
I used a die for framing and to cut the sentiment, but the real cuties in this card are those two little mousers who've gotten into the jam jar. Even though I don't want mice in my jam jar I can't help but find little furry creatures adorable and Penny Black's Homemade stamp set is jam packed with adorableness. The sentiment in this case is from a Hero Arts set.
I watercolored with Tombow markers. I added a pink wash around the mice, but when I saw the photo I was disappointed that it didn't show up. Then I looked at the card again and realized it had all faded away! What the heck? Oh well, I left it as is and moved on.
The glossy dots are punched from designer paper, then coated with Diamond Glaze. You know how I love doing that. If you look closely you can see a bit of pattern in the larger dots.
That's it for me today. This was great fun because you know how I love my Penny Black stamps. It's guaranteed you'll love what my co-designer, Denise, and the PBSC team have created, and I really hope you can play along. The more Penny Black, the merrier!
Have a happy day!
