Penny Black Saturday Challenge (June)

It's time for a new Penny Black Saturday Challenge.  This month our theme is ... Anything Goes  or 

  Spots &/orStripes.

I decided to go all artsy and create my own stripes...



I  swiped ink over a stencil, spritzed and then 'stamped' the stencil on the card stock - in other words using the stencil to make a monoprint. Next I brushed a light wash over the stripes.  At this stage I hadn't decided on a stamp. So I browsed my stash of PB stamps and chose this gorgeous collage stamp. Once I'd stamped it, I realised it would look better as is and not coloured.

Stamp: Penny Black Botanical Notes

Our Guest Designer this month is  Bunny . You can see  Bunny's card and more from our Design Team at our blog.
