There is something really soothing about water coloring Penny Black images - and having a guide like Jill Foster can't hurt! It truly took my mind off of the weather - don't ask!
Here are two cards for her Sketch #3 using Big Bold Sentiments as the 'stage' for a few more of those darling PB kids...
My list is growing very long indeed - but I just can't get enough of
these sweet PB Little Guys!
Here I've used an alpha set from The Cat's Pajamas to cut the
word AHOY then added a little fun wavy texture using my die cut machine and a cover plate from Alex Syberia Designs called Mermaid's Melody.
The other Little Guy in that PB set is fishing - for a Valentine in this case! lol
The XOXO die from Lawn Fawn was cut using cardboard, and I added the rectangle of color to the card base using PB's Background Basics Stencils set and a few CP inks.
Last one... for Sketch #4 using PB's Classy Frames:
If you have treated yourself to those videos, you will see that Jill uses the Sketch in several different ways using an embossed panel, the Classy Frames background cut, and either characters or florals. This little frog-kisser was begging to play! I obliged and this time used my Copics to color while watching 'IF' on Prime... a must-watch, my friends!
An old Cuttle Bug embossing folder an ink blended background and
a 'stickled' little heart sealed the deal! I'll keep the sentiment for the inside.
I'd bet money she found her Prince!
Just like that, I have a new video and Sketch #5 waiting for me in the wings! Tell me if you're playing along, too - and if you have a favorite today! Thanks so much for stopping by!

I love to watch you play with Jill's sketches and PB stamps! I can't keep up so I don't try to do all of them, but I am greatly inspired. These kids are darling! I love the big sentiments and all your clever ideas for the designs. Thanks for sharing all this joy, Michele!
They are all stunning and beautiful xx
Oh, these are gorgeous cards! I love the layouts and the way you have coloured the images highlights them beautifully! ..... but, I think they are LOTV images, not PB ;)
I adore your cards and especially Penny Black stamps. I started making cards by following Jill paint many years ago now . I just love the images the stamps come out with. Michele your PB cards are stunning 🩷🩷🩷
EEEEEK! SO stinking cute, Michele. Wonderfully adorable images, Jill's sketches and then your imagine -- what a winning combo! I haven't been able to play along, but I sure hope SOON...
Oh, my, I just can't pick a favorite, my friend! Your coloring is perfect with water and without! Love these layouts! What a great way to sit out the lousy weather!
I love all 3 Michele, but the 2nd one really tugs at me!! I love how you've used all of Jill's sketches and I've been truly enjoying them too...the ideas are flying, but still can't find the energy to do much about it! Soon! Sweet, sweet cards my friend!! Hugs. :0)
Oh my goodness, this is cuteness times three! My favorite is the little fella fishing for his Valentine. Put him on the list!
A trio of cuteness! Each one is just as adorable as the next.
What a feast for the eyes, Michele. These are so delightful. Especially that little guy fishing for a hug and a kiss. I really need to catch up on these videos! Makes me want to order all the things from Penny Black and wherever you order. You have some wonderful stash!
These are fabulous - so beautifully colored! I love their connection to the big sentiments!
Jill is amazing and so are you! I can see why you can't get enough of these Little Guys, they are fab and FUN!
Oh. My. Goodness. These are so, so fabulous! And it is so wonderful to see that little guy with the sailboat and the fishing pole again. So adorable. But the princess and the frogs... I don't remember seeing her. I can't even put into words how much I love that one. And now I need those frame dies. I've had enough of wanting them. LOL. Fabulous work, you.
I've been watching the videos and keeping all the ideas in mind while you are busy implementing them to the highest degree, Michele. I can see how much you are enjoying painting those fellows, and the princess too. Keep it up. I love seeing all of your creations.
You play very well with Jill's sketches and her water coloring too!
Oh my they are so beautiful the watercolouring is sheer perfection and are definetley frame worthy
