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!

I’m back with the Challenge over at Penny Black Saturday October Challenge!  The theme  is  Anything Goes (Optional – Too Cute to Spook!

I chose the cute option as you probably guessed.

The litle chef mouse is from PB – Birthday Critters stamp set. It’s the first time I’ve used these cuties! After Distress ink watercolouring, I fussy cut him out.

After ombre ink blending a panel, it was added to the card front and sprayed with PerfectPearls spray for a little shine and textured look. The sentiment is from PB – It’s Your Day stamp set.

It was then time to add the mouse to finish this sweet CAS card.

Ellibelle’s Crafty Wednesday – September Challenge

As You Like It – Favourite: Layered or Flat (& why)? ( I don’t often add layers in the true sense of the ideas although I like to add add other elements such as a strips of DP and card to add impact rather than dimension. Thus keeping is a a one layer card to a degree. )
