Penny Black Saturday Challenge: February 2023

Happy Saturday Everyone!

We're back with some more inspiration for our current challenge, and the announcement of the DT favourites from last month's challenge!

*******

Here are the DTs favourite projects from January's 'Anything Goes' (Optional 'Something New') challenge:

Helen B's favourite: #43 - Ellie

Helen says: I love the subtle inked clouds behind the adorable critter on Ellie's card - who could resist him!?

Helen F's favourite: # 32 - Leslie Miller

Helen says: I love the wonderful colouring to bring these stunning flowers to life against the simple background.

Jenny's favourite:#27 - Fabiola

Jenny says: I adore the way Fabiola has coloured 'Mo' and the snowy scene on kraft card.

Lorraine's favourite: #22 - Bonnie

Lorraine says: This is just gorgeous. I love the way Bonnie has used markers on the stamps and then used a damp waterbrush to produce a stunning coloured image.

Congratulations ladies - please grab our 'PBSC Favourite' badge for your blog!
