Penny Black Sketches #3 and #4!

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!
