Hi Everyone,
Once you enter one competition or participate in one challenge, you start to think that you might be able to enter/participate in a few more. It’s fun to challenge yourself to work to a particular theme, constraint or product. I was reading a blog earlier today and saw the person had entered a GORGEOUS entry in a challenge hosted by Simon Says Stamp. I’ve purchased a few times from them and have found them to be very good – products have come quickly and in excellent condition. I decided to see what I could dream up.

The theme of this challenge is Anything Goes but they mentioned two companies which they were featuring. Ideally I would have liked to have used products from these companies but since I do not own anything from either one, I decided to stick with what I know and love – stamps from Penny Black! I wanted to colour, you see!
Here’s my entry into the competition:
Thinking of You!
Materials used: Stamps – Guess What?! 1449K, Salutations 30-014 (Penny Black); Distress Inks, Distress Markers; and Designer Paper – Serendipity (Basic Grey).
Aren’t those little creatures so adorable? I love colouring them!
Update:
I got carried away and made another two cards. They are essentially the same but I changed the greeting on both, the colour of the flowers on one, the background paper on another and added some glitter to the toadstool. Love how that looks! Will share them here even though they don’t look much different from the first one.
Thank You – Take 1

Thanks very much, Mandy! It was fun to play along. 🙂
Goodness! Each is sweeter than the last. Those little hedgehogs are adorable, and more of that happy red! I’m really glad you made more–well worth any effort, and I’m sure that whoever these go out to, will adore them. Very sweet. Makes me smile! Have a good weekend. Bev
Oooh, thank you! They are such fun to colour! I thought about making the toadstool a different colour but, you’re right, that red is such a happy colour. I hope the recipients like them too. 🙂 Hope you are having a good weekend, Bev! 🙂
