Heart Balloons

The monthly Penny Black at Allsorts challenge is:

All You Need Is Love

I found this sweet Penny Black stamped image in my stash and I thought it was perfect for the challenge! I've coloured it with Aquamarkers plus used some watercolour paint for the blue background wash as I've not yet expanded my Aquamarker range sufficiently!

I've used off-cuts of card that have been embossed with the Cuttlebug D'Vine Swirls folder as the background, and the red layered card is from my stash, along with the red organza ribbon.

With it being such a lovely image (and quite big too!) I didn't want it to look lost on the card and for it to be the main focal point.

  • Image: Penny Black, coloured with Aquamarkers
  • Embossing: Cuttlebug D'Vine Swirls
  • Everything else: My stash
