PBSC January - Anything Goes...Optional "Something New"

Hello friends.  I was lucky enough to receive some new Penny Black stamps for Christmas from my sweet friend Sue, and the cuddle up set was the first one to get colored up!  Take a look...

Aren't they just the cutest little couple all snuggled up together against the cold?  They must live in Michigan like me!  I colored the image with my Copics and then fussy cut the image out.

My background consists of PB's stitched square & circles (the largest circle die in the set) and PB's tall trees dies.  Although it's hard to see in the photos, I ink blended the background of the circle die in residual blue ink from one of my blender brushes. My image of the couple was added over the circle with foam tape for a bit of dimension.

 I finished this card with a sentiment from the cuddle up set and embossed it in white on a strip of black.  I thought about adding some bling, but then decided it really didn't need it!

Lots of inspiration from the DT that you can find right HERE, so check it out and then play along.  This challenge is open till Friday, January 31st @ 8:00PM.

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
