Penny Black Saturday #197 - Spots & Stripes


Good morning ... Saturday again and yes it's time for a new Penny Black Saturday Challenge. Thanks very much to everyone who joined in last week's CASE it challenge  - there were some gorgeous interpretations of Helen's card.

This week our theme is

Spots & Stripes

... so hopefully it should be pretty easy for you to join in. Remember that you can interpret the theme however you like so long as you submit a new piece of work, using a Penny Black image, large sentiment or stickeroo as its main focus.

This week's prize is a $20 store voucher from our regular sponsor 1 2 3 Stitch - woo hoo!

Don't forget to check out the rest of the DT's gorgeous cards - here's mine for this week.


This is actually a rare commission card that I made over the Bank Holiday, and as it is a real keepsake I also made a matching box.


Stamps: Penny Black "Baby Hammock" (2073J); LotV sentiment circle;
Media: Promarkers and Flexmarkers;
Papers: Papermania "Forever Friends - New Arrival";
Supplies: flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts; pearls and ribbon from my stash;
Tools: small, large, scalloped and lacy circle nestabilities; Marianne D "Branch Forest" die; magnolia "vintage tag" die; Leone Em "Ash family" leaf punch.
