Guest Designer at Penny Black Saturday Challenge

Hi everyone.  I'm so thrilled to be Guest Designing at Penny Black Saturday Challenge this month!  The challenge is "Love is in the Air" (perfect this time of year) or "Anything Goes".  

I stamped the image (Love Everywhere - Penny Black) onto mixed media paper in black ink and clear heat embossed.  I die-cut using the matching die (Love Everywhere Cut Out) and then watercoloured with distress inks.

A separate mixed media panel was sponged with Salty Ocean and Blueprint Sketch distress inks.  Clouds were added by using a sponge dauber and slightly diluted white acrylic paint.  Once dry, the background panel was die-cut using Semi-Circle Stackers frame dies (Penny Black).

Crystal Glaze was added to the hedgie's goggles and the row of hearts .  The sentiment (Fill My Heart by Penny Black) was stamped in two colours (Candied Apple distress ink, Memento black ink).  Finally, the airplane was popped up with foam onto the main panel for added dimension.

Close-up ...

I hope you'll check out the PBSC Challenge this month to see the wonderful inspiration cards from the Designers.  Come join in the fun! :)
