Hello and welcome
It’s time for the new September challenge over at Penny Black Saturday Challenge! The theme is Anything Goes (Optional ‘Embossing – Wet or Dry’).

As usual, we are sponsored by the awesome

Prize – a $20 voucher!
My card features one of my very first stamps and one that has been used for many special occasions over the years. PB- VIctorian Love woodblock stamp.
After silver heat embossing the stamp on some vellum, I coloured the images with Distress Ink watercolouring. As the sections are so very small, I coloured it on the front using the embossing as a well for the ink rather than the back which is usual for a larger, more open image.
After trimming the panel it was layered on white card so help the images show up. It was then added to a navy card base.
The sentiment is from PB – Sprinkles and Smiles stamp set and silver embossed. I selected this sentiment as I haven’t yet decided what occasion to use it for.
Please head over to our blog to check out the wonderfully inspirational work by the rest of the Design Team! I hope you will find the time to join our challenge this month.
I look forward to seeing what you create! Good luck!
Thanks so much for taking the time to visit. I love to read your comments and will be sure to check out your blog.
I hope all is going well for you all! Stay safe!
Cheers
Helen
