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!

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.

As cute as those kids are, it's that sweet polar bear and his little friend that gave me a grin! Adorable cards, Michele!

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!

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.
