Winners, Octoberfest, and Inspiration
Today’s another big day at Penny Black as we announce our latest and greatest challenge; Octoberfest! We’ve issued a card challenge to you, for the month of October. You won’t believe the grand prize!
I’d like to start with a bit of holiday inspiration from Designer, Elizabeth Allan. Elizabeth made a lovely keepsake card by altering a die-cut to create an ornament. She added distressing, stamping, elevated layers, and she “grunged” up the ribbon with ink and gold stamping.
