Although I do have some Penny Black dies, I wanted to use an image since I haven't coloured up a Penny Black for ages. This doggy is from one of their clear sets called Happy Times and I cut round him leaving a white border so he would stand out from the pattern paper.

The patterned paper is Echo Park Birthday Boy, on the dotty one I used the Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangles and then used the Wavy Stitched Scallop Border die but cut off the scallops. I then cut the red card twice with the border die. Which I added to the dotty paper and then trimmed round to leave a border.

I cut the stars out of Simon Says Stamp Bundle Stitched Shapes and then stuck them on red card, cut and trimmed round the stars to make a border. I did the same with the Simon says Stamp Stitched Banners but I used the largest tag to cut the end to the length I wanted. Can I say that the way the banner matches the paper underneath wasn't done intentionally mere luck.

Finally I used the fab Simon Says Stamp Happy Birthday die but I cut it twice once in red and another in green. Then I overlapped them to give them a bit of shadow and to show up more.

This PB dog with his bone is a wonderful image and you have coloured it beautifully Debby. I love the green check and spotted backgrounds with the red mats and as a backing to the star embellishments and fishtail sentiment banner. A splendid card. x
