Penny Black Saturday Challenge

This is my entry for Penny Black Saturday challenge, using the layout guide on their blog. The papers are from an old SEI collection called Winnie's Walls.

Kelly Panacci Paper and Stamps

I have used the SWIRLS set of stamps and repeatedly stamped them to create the illusion of a climbing plant to encircle the photo. The BORDERS 2 set of stamps was used to create the photo frame both under the acetate overlay and on the overlay itself. I then highlighted everything with a white sharpie pen and added flowers using Tombow pens. The letters were stencilled using the PERKY LETTERS from the Crafters Workshop collection. The paper used was Dotsalot - Green.

Penny Black Saturday Challenge

A friend of mine, Jackie, has joined this challenge and has been added to their design team, so being a Penny Black fan, I have decided to have a go. This week's challenge was to use brads and buttons and of course a Penny Black stamp.

Paper Trunk cards

These cards were made with left over bits from layouts, with the exception of the one for my daughter's 20th birthday, for which I used a new sheet of Compassionate. The "With All My Love" card was made using a Quilling tool. I cut small strips approx 5" (13cm) x 3/8" (1cm) which I snipped at 1/16"(2mm)intervals down to depth of 5/16" (8mm)making a frill. I wound these around the tool to make the flowers, two using the reverse side of Compassionate and one using the reverse side of Sassy, this one I rubbed the edges of the frill with a blue ink pad and once it was wound up I applied the pink to the centre of the flower and added a gem. I then cut some thin strips of green to make the stems, which I shaped by bending them around a pencil.

This layout uses Paper Trunk - Gigi - Graceful, Strong and Wise papers. The photos are matted on cream solid - the reverse of Sassy. Lovely from the Batik Collection is used for the two border strips. The stamped frame around the main photo is made using one of the Paper Trunk 12 inch acrylic border stamps, these come in 2 sets of 5 different designs.

Oh Happy Days

This layout used Paper Trunk Gigi Collection - Witty as the background paper, this was then covered with a sheet of vellum. Circles of varying sizes were cut to frame the photos from the reverse sides of the patterned papers - Wise, Sassy, Graceful and Compassionate. The scalloping around the larger photo was made with punched out circles cut in half. I also used some of the circles from the 2 Crafty 12 x 12 sheet (which I painted in complimentary colours) to give a raised effect. Patterned circles were cut out from another sheet of Witty, which were then adhered over the corresponding circles under the vellum.
