Hello and welcome
I’m back with the December Challenge over at Penny Black Saturday Challenge! The theme is Anything Goes (Optional – Christmas).
As usual, we are sponsored by the awesome
I started by stamping the image from PB – Nature’s Allure stamp set.
After making a mask for the bird and pine cones, I ink blended the top section of the card using Distress inks. Then splattered with some Glimmer Mist.
It was then time to Distress watercolour the sweet image, then adding some Gelly Roll pen for some sparkle.
The sentiments are from the same set.
I loved making a Christmas card that didn’t use the traditional animals. I love the fresh look of the blues and teal greens with this sweet little bird .
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 you all have a very safe and happy season ahead!
Cheers
Helen
