Penny Black Winter Cards


I made a couple cards for the PBSC Penny Black Saturday challenge for December which is either a Winter or Christmas theme. I colored this PB image with markers and added layers of Coastal Cabana cardstock and designer paper which were die-cut with Lil Inker stitched rectangles. These were quick and easy to put together and hopefully fun for the kids who receive them.


Here's a 2nd version done with Island Indigo cardstock and SU! dsp. For this one, I wanted more of the snowflakes to show, so I used one less layer than the first card.

I hope everyone is enjoying a nice New Year's day! My husband is ready for football, while I'll be spending some time in the craft room. We'll both be happy that way :)

Thanks for stopping by, and may your new year be filled with everything that makes you happy!

Carol there is no way the "kids" won't be thrilled with these two cards. I love them both. That pretty snowflake paper really adds something extra to this image that is si sweetly colored. Wishing you a good day.
