Penny Black Saturday Challenge Mid-Month Inspiration

It's time for more inspiration to get our creative juices flowing for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge.  

Stamps:  Penny Black 'Aspire' 3381K, Happy birthday from the 'critter party' 30-013 clear set, 'Corner Piece 2859H', 'Deco Border' 2653F. 
Other:  Tim Holtz distress ink, Spellbinder's Labels Twenty Five dies, pp, Ranger white embossing powder.

I sponged distress ink onto the die cut panel, and used my Misti to stamp and color the image.  Added the scrolls and other bits to the background.  Distressed pp pieces and layered.  The torn right edge and curled corner add to the distressed look.

I hope you have had a chance to play along with the February challenge.   The theme is 'Anything Goes' with optional 'Use Some Scraps.'  We all have those little bits of pp, ribbons, string, card stock bits and pieces.  Now's your chance to give them some love and maybe even win a prize for your efforts. 

The challenge is sponsored by 1,2,3 Stitch, who is generously giving a $20 voucher to the challenge winner!   We look forward to seeing your creations!  If you would like to be considered for a guest designer spot for a future challenge, please add 'GTD' after your name on the link-up.  Be sure to stop back to see if you have been chosen.
