Permission to Play #2

 While I was still painting for the first in the Penny Black Permission to Play series, #2 dropped HERE!  SO much more fun than laundry!

Once again, Jill is using a basic sketch - you'll find that in the video, too.  As much as I love their oval die, I've used what I had on hand - in fact all three of the 'shapes' were found in their respective packaging... bonus! 

Here are my cards - guess who went with a Christmas theme today. 


I'm sending this one over to the gals at Peace on Earth #66 - the colors in the bottom left photo were definitely on my radar:


These darling kids can both be found in PB's Cozy Cuteness set from 2019.

PB Triangles EF- WF Oval Nesting dies and Dashed Snowflake plate - Altenew Bells and Bows

Then I turned the sketch around and plunked these PB Arctic Friends in the middle!

EH Oyster grey cardstock - Spellbinders' Ski Lodge embossing folder - PFS Braided Oval

All three of the sentiments were ready for me in my stash - from The Greetery: Tearstrip Tags! 

Hope you're able to get some crafty time between loads today, too!

  10. Those kids are so cute, Michele, and I don't know if I've ever seen them before. The soft colors and embossing all made such a great couple of cards. What a great idea to turn the oval to find room for the wonderful polar bear and friend.

  14. You know I'm a PB fan, still coloring up some new and new/old not yet used stamps. Your coloring is as sweet at the images. I especially love the polar bear and his penguin buddy. So cute!

  16. Apparently, you DON'T need permission to play, and boy, would I like to be your playmate ;) Totally in love with card #3 and how you turned the oval to landscape format with that adorable bear and friends.
