It's time to give you more inspiration for the current Penny Black Saturday Challenge, where the theme is:
'Anything Goes'
with an optional twist to 'use some scraps'.
I used one of my favourite dies from Penny Black - the 'Iris'. The scraps are from Kaisercraft 'Hanami Garden' Paper Pad along with a spare bow that's been sitting on my desk for a few weeks.
I've realised I don't have many Penny Black sentiment stamps and I had to cut up a sentiment from the aptly named 'Sentimental' stamp set to fit my design. The butterflies are made from tiny heart dies, using MFT Stitched Heart Grid die.
I hope you have the opportunity to join in this month's challenge and check out the rest of the inspiration from out Design Team here.

Since I had more hearts leftover, I decided to make another fun card to go with some flowers for my daughter, who arrived back from her 1st solo overseas trip.

Love the way you used these pretty papers, Jenny, nicely done! Thanks for sharing your work with us at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge!
ReplyDeleteLove your pretty CAS creations! Welcome to the PBSC team too! ~Sue Kment
ReplyDeleteThat pretty paper works great as both hearts and butterflies, Jenny! The butterflies make a fantastic accompaniment to your beautiful iris design with the matching bow-tied border and the hearts are so adorable on your card to welcome home your daughter from her big trip alone! What a sweet Mom you are! Thank you so much for playing along in Twofer Card Challenge #2!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteWhat ingenious use of the heart die cuts Jenny, and a pair of beautiful cards

Two beautiful ways to use those sweet pp die cut hearts! Such a lovely iris, and your pp mixed with the gold is so elegant. Your welcome home card is so artistic. It looks like a Westernized Japanese piece of art (does that even make sense?). Anyway, I love it! Thanks for joining in on the fun with us at the Twofer Card Challenge!
ReplyDeleteThese are both so pretty with those gorgeous pp accents, Jenny ... fabulous idea to turn the hearts into butterflies around that elegant iris ... and so sweet to have them as smoke coming from the chimney on that lovely cherry blossom shaded home! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Twofer! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely cards and such a great idea to use the hearts to make butterflies.
