Penny Black Saturday Challenge – November 2025

Hello and welcome

I’m back with a reminder for the Challenge over at Penny Black Saturday November Challenge!  The theme  is  Anything Goes (Optional – Music!)

Once again, I chose a cute image.

The cute little hedgie is from PB – Sweet Wishes stamp set inside the PB – Posted stamp. It’s the first time I’ve used this frame or the little hedgie from the set! After Distress ink watercolouring, I fussy cut the postage frame out.

The sentiment is from PB – Nice One stamp set.

It was then time to finish after adding to a kraft card front, by stamping the postage add ons.

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!

Our wonderful sponsor, lawn fawn, isgenerously offering a $25 store credit as a prize to our Challenge Winner as chosen by the Design Team.  Our winner will also get invited to join us as Guest Designer for a future challenge.

This challenge I brought at some old stamps I haven’t used for ages.

I started by stamping 2 of the images from Art Impressions – Lighthouse Circlelet set on the middle of the MFT Pierced Circle Die and then Distresss ink watercoloured them.

They were then added back into the circle frame.

Newton’s Nook – Sips & Stories image is the stamped, coloured and fussy cut.

The scene is then added to a craft card front.

The sentiment is from Penny Black.
