Penny Black Saturday Challenge – February 2026

Hello and welcome

I’m back with the new February Challenge over at Penny Black Saturday Challenge!  The theme  is  Anything Goes (Optional – Romance.!)

My card uses unused images from PB – My Sweet stamp set to make a background. It was Distress watercoloured and finished with some small dots usung a Gelly Roll pen and some clear Wink of Stella.

The sentiment is PB – Sweet wishes die cut and layered up and overed with Wink of Stella. The stamped sentiments are from the same stamp set and PB – Nice One!

PB Saturday Challenge

Hello and welcome

A reminder for the February Challenge over at Penny Black Saturday Challenge!  This month our theme  is Hearts! But as always you can play along with Anything Goes!! I hope you will find time to join in!

One of my new purchases last year was the super fun PB stamp set – “My Sweet”. So many sweet food images!

I chose the cone. After Distress watercolouring, I fussy cut the image.

The background panel was smooched with Worn Lipstick mixed with some shimmer water.

The sentiment is the Sweet Wishes die again.

I added Glossy Accents to the chocolate and the cherry.
