Simon Says: Anything Goes featuring Penny Black

Hello crafty friends! It's Wednesday and that means it's time for a new Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge!

This week Simon Says: Anything Goes! The design team is featuring super fun Penny Black products this week!  It isn't a requirement to use them but if you have them we would love to see them!

Come join in on the fun, you have the chance of winning a $50 gift card to the fantastic Simon Says Stamp store!

It is always fun to send some irish luck to someone you care about! I had to color this adorable bear by Penny Black :) I just love him - this card needs a home, lol!

I took a piece of Neena and stamped my bear, I stamped him again on masking paper and cut only his "legs" to mask for the hill. 

I took an MFT stencil and my Mowed Lawn Distress Ink and ink blended my Irish grassy hill. I coloured in my bear with Copic markers being careful to maintain some hair texture on my bear. Once he was colored in, I added some Salty Ocean Distress Ink from my edges in being careful not to go over the bear.

I used a rounded rectangle die to die cut the panel and then stamped the sentiment from the same Penny Black set on the bottom. I stamped it again and fussy cut the top part of the banned to make it pop a little more.

I die cut the Simon Says Stamp Sending die from both gold and black cardstock and offset the sentiment to add some black shading.  I glued it to the panel. To finish off, I added white gel pen, glossy accents and green glitter to the shamrocks.  My Trinity Stamps brown hearts were used to finish off the card!
