I am so happy to be the Guest Designer for Penny Black Saturday Challenges this month! How fun is that?
The Challenge is Anything Goes, Optional "Hearts and Flowers". I just received a wooden stamp that Penny Black recently released "From the Vault" called X-Large Love from the Margaret Sherry Collection (3611J). This cute cat has a heart on his sweater and I've been anxious to color him (her?)!
I stamped out X-Large Love Cat with Ranger Jet Black Archival Ink and colored him with OLO Markers. These markers color so well and there are so many options with them. Check out Nichol Spohr's YouTube where she has a Guest Designer from the company explaining all about them.I stamped the same image onto Gina K Masking Magic and fussy cut it out - a little bit within the outside edge. I put the mask over the image and ink blended a heart stencil from MFT called Lots of Hearts using Fresh Pink Ink from the Stamp Market. It is a nice subtle color.
I then stamped a flower image from Penny Black's Refreshing Stamp set #30-695. Since the optional theme was hearts and flowers, I wanted to add flowers! After the mask was removed I did draw an extension to the stem so that it looks like our little guy is holding the flowers (I hope!). The flowers were also colored with the OLO Markers. At this point, I used Penny Black's Lovely Border Dies #51-484 for the heart edges. Such a lovely die!
I made 2 cards, similar, but different:
Here at the 2 cards, basically the difference is the lettering: both from Scrapbook.com - Tall Skinny Alphabet Dies, one has the capital letters and one the lowercase letters. The hashtag is from a different set I had in my stash. All cut 3 times from Lawn Fawn Licorice Black Card Stock and glued together with Bearly Art Glue (my favorite with the fine tip!).
Thanks so much to Penny Black Saturday Challenge to allowing me to be the Guest Designer. Come join in the fun - Anything Goes!

Also, I am a college graduate, still working full time, and trying to squeeze in every crafting moment possible. Working with my hands, whether it is papercrafting, stamping, painting, cross-stitching, zentangling or quilting - brings joy to my life. I love color in all its various forms.
