Dogs Running on Ribbon

I'm back with a reminder card for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge - I'm thrilled to be their Guest Designer this month.  It's Anything Goes - Optional "Use Ribbon or Twine".  So I opted to use ribbon as a way to ground my parade of Christmas dogs.

A quick CAS card!  Stamped, watercoloured, a strip of paw print ribbon to ground the pups, and a border of black die cut on the top with the sentiment die.

Thank you, Penny Black Saturday Challenge, for inviting me to Guest Design this month!

 
I'm also linking up with the Color Throwdown.  They want red, black, grey, and white.

Supplies:
Stamps - Penny Black
Ink - Versafine Onyx Black

Tulips and Ribbon for Penny Black

I'm thrilled to be Guest Designing for Two Different Challenges, but both of them go live on the same day so I have to subject you to two blog posts today!

This post is for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge.  The challenge is Anything Goes with an Optional Twist of Ribbon or Twine.

I went with the optional twist of ribbon.

This beautiful tulip image lends itself perfectly to be tied with a bow!


Steps:

• Stamped it with Versafine and heat embossed it with a pearl lustre ep - in real life, there is a nice sheen to the stamping.
• Watercoloured the image, working on the shading as best I could.
• Stamped the sentiment in a similar green.
• Cut small slits each side of the stems and wound the gingham ribbon through it twice, tying it in a bow when finished.
• Die cut with an A2 stitched rectangle and mounted on the card base.
• Embellished with a scattering of various coloured gemstones.

Looking forward to seeing what you make for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge this month!
