Penny Black Saturday Challenge - First

Morning everyone, I know Im up early for a Saturday but its our 1st challenge today at Penny Blacks Saturday Challenge and we're all very excited.

Our first challenge is: First Penny Black Stamp. We would like to see you using your first Penny Black Stamp that you brought. You can make a card, atc, alterted art, etc.. what ever you wish but it must include your first stamp.

There's also some fabulous Blog Candy up for grab, so do check it out - and have FUN !!!

Well here's my card, and the first PB stamp I brought was 'Buzz In The Air'. I wanted to make something different so made a pocket card. I used yellow card for the base measuring 13.5" x 4.5" and scored the card at 4.5" + 9". Then I cut each end piece to form the pocket. The front inside has been decorated with papers from Basic Grey - Two Scoop. The ends have then been decorated with lace and flowers and stuck down only at the bottom to allow for the pocket. I then finished off by stamping the boarder swirls.





Buzz In The Air has been stamped onto a piece of white card and cut using my Spellbinder in my Cuttlebug. I have coloured the image with tobo pens and waterpen and then stuck a piece of ribbon to the back.



And here's the inside, using papers from Basic Grey - Two Scoops, boarder stamp is G Studio.





Have a great weekend and don't forgot to check out all the work by the other DT members.
