It’s Your Special Day (PB Saturday Challenge)

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
