Guest Designer for Penny Black Saturday Challenge

Hi everyone.  I'm so happy to be Guest Designing at Penny Black Saturday Challenge.  Thanks Helen!

I love Penny Black stamps and dies and really have fun playing along with PBSC's monthly challenges.
The challenge is always Anything Goes with an Optional Twist.  This month the Option is Nature.

PB stamps are all about nature, so this was an easy one. :)

I started by stamping the Unforgettable image in Versafine Black onto mixed media paper  I heat set the image with my heat tool and then watercoloured with distress inks.  I fussy-cut the image, just keeping the center part of this flower spray.  A watercoloured background from my stash was just the right colours so I added a white card stock piece on top which has been die-cut with an oval.  Popped up the flowers over top and added a sentiment to finish.

Close-up ...

I hope you'll come join us for this wonderful challenge.  Hope to see you in the gallery.

I've used summer colours for this card, which is the challenge at The Flower Challenge this month (summer / winter).  Adding my card to the gallery ...

    Congratulations on being GD at PB Saturday Challenge, Loll!
    This is such a lovely and happy bouquet card! I love the beautiful design: the sentiment is perfectly placed in the oval window and the partial bouquet (just the right portion of the flowers) is decorating the bottom of the window. And of course, the fabulous watercoloring and fussy-cutting!
