Mid month reminder for Penny Black and More Challenges .........Summertime!

Hi there!

It's mid month reminder time over at Penny Black and More Challenges for this months theme of

Summertime.

Here is my inspiration using Penny Black's 40-516 Dynamic and the sentiment is 30-419 Happy Wishes.  I have also used 30-284 Sprigs.

Coloured with distress oxides and finished with a sparkle overlay pen and I've just hand drawn the little birds on there.

Here is a shot so that you can see the lovely shimmer on those poppies.

I loved the lovely warm summer sky on this one.

New theme at Penny Black and More ........ Summertime!

Hi there!!

It's a new month so it's a new theme at Penny Black and More Challenges and what better theme for July than Summertime!

Here I have used the gesso technique for the background.  I've stamped my image using gesso, allowed it to fully dry and then gone over the top with a touch of glycerine and distress oxides.

The central image is Penny Black's 40-547 Flower Lanterns which I have stamped using distress oxides and the sentiment is from 30-417 Delicate Silhouettes stamp set.

Finished with a touch of distress oxide around the edge.

Please do come and join us and show us your summertime themed makes:-
