Wings for Penny Black and More - June Challenge


Good Morning!! First Sunday of the new month already, and so it's time for our new
Penny Black and More Challenge.

Come join the fun for a chance to win some fabulous prizes for our very generous sponsors! This month we have prizes from Penny Black, All Occasion Dies, Sizzix and Kraftyhands. Lots of fun stuff to be won!!

Our theme this month is 
Wings - real, fantasy, or fiction

For my card today I inked up one of my first favorite Penny Black stamps - Water Lily skiing. Had to have this one when I discovered the company several years ago (just wish I had discovered them sooner!!!) This cute stamp is also available in my Etsy Stamp Shop. Speaking of my shop, I did just recently add some of the newest release stamps and a couple dies to my shop for US shipping :-)


I colored the image with copic markers, then created a mask to ink the background using SU and distress inks. The butterfly was stamped separately and fussy cut to fit my card design. 
I thought this sentiment was perfect for our challenge theme! It's from the newer Penny Black set "snippets", another one I have available in my shop.

Water Lily Skiing
Snippets

The sketch is pretty simple, I just added a couple designer papers, some twill ribbon and twine, and embossed simple white lines on the top portion of the card. Sentiment was tucked under the image circle, and I embellished with some sequins, and glitter on the wings.

I am also playing along here:

And I am guessing that just might be a wood mounted stamp Ellie, still my favs. I really like the design of your card, it has a nice modern feel to it.

Hope you have a good Sunday.
