I had a wonderful time at Marcia's yesterday - more on that soon, promise. But I've had these PB Merry Days cuties on my desk for a few weeks now since my return from North Carolina ... can you blame me? They are so sweet and fun to color -
I often forget that there is a wonderful challenge that is ALL ABOUT Penny Black:
Penny Black on Saturday! [Thanks, J.M. for the sweet reminder!]
September's challenge is Anything Goes or Anything but Square... forgive me if
I'm confused... should it be square? Oh well, we'll soon find out!
You'll see I've used the PB Classy Frames again - along with their Triangle Pattern embossing folder for that bottom section from one of Jill Foster's Sketches for my card design. I have always been a sketch fan and still miss CASE this Sketch!
Here are a few more of my recent water-colored card sessions... I hope the recipient has received it by now! Here is my gorgeous inspiration - thanks, Tom!
I could hardly do it justice!
An oldie from MFT - Don't you LOVE her saddle shoes?? Whose parents didn't have that set of Samsonite?
One more? These gorgeous Memento Magnolias sent to me by my friend Bonnie! They were such a treat to assemble - with the instructions and photos she included that is!
These pieces were water colored individually and then assembled and
mounted on a rectangle panel [EH] that had been treated to a watery wash
of leftover distress inks and Delicata Gold stamping with a Wplus9 background stamp - also added to the envelope. This card is a 5x7" and I hope to hand deliver it to my youngest daughter soon.
Okay, friends, that's it from me - I brought LOTS of Penny Black stamped images from Marcia's to color! I better get to it! Thanks for the visit!

Did I forget to tell you this sweet mountain miss had arrived? I'm sorry. I've been enjoying her sitting smack dab in the center of the window sill where everyone can see her. Your bears are such a delight colored and framed for a special card! You have done a magnificent job with the magnolias! The background shows the white flowers beautifully! Your daughter will love it!
An amazing trio of cards. My hands down favourite is the middle one. Love that little scene and sentiment. Your magnolia card looks very special too and at 5x7 it's quite large too. The flower spray fits it perfectly, so I can see why it had to be xx
Yes, please indeed! Oh, my my heart... the first two are so adorably sweet! I love the scene on the second card, as well as the real life scene in the photo. And the sentiment is absolutely precious. And, ohhh, those magnolias! I have a bunch of this collection and love it all. Your card is jaw dropping gorgeous!
The magnolias are stunning on the water wash background, Michele. I love those sweet bears and your coloring really brought them to life. Same for the darling girls and her mountain view.
