Artful Entry

I made this card with a new stamp from Penny Black called Artful Entry. This image is perfect to colour with watercolours so I used my Karin markers to colour it. I also added a few dots with a white gel pen to the potted tree as flowers. The sentiment comes from the new sentiment set Brighten the World. I matted the panel onto a piece of black cardstock before adhering it to my card base.

Let's Garden

I made this card with a lovely new stamp by Penny Black called Let's Garden. Once again I coloured the image with my Copics and did the background by ink blending Distress Oxide inks in Old Paper and just a little bit of Saltwater Taffy through a stencil from the Background Basics stencil set. The sentiment I used is from the new sentiment set Brighten the World. I finished the card by embellishing it with some clear gems.

Heaven Scent

This gorgeous floral stamp is called Heaven Scent and it's a new stamp from the latest release by Penny Black called Shining Wings. I coloured the image with my Copics before blending Distress Oxide inks in Old Paper and Saltwater Taffy through a stencil from the Background Basics stencil set. I then stamped a sentiment from the new sentiment set called Brighten the World on the card panel before embellishing it with some half pearls.

Layered Bloom

This die is another beauty from the latest release Shining Wings by Penny Black. It's called Layered Bloom. After die cutting the elements, I coloured them by blending some Distress Oxide inks on the petals and the stem (Dried Marigold and Abandoned Coral on the petals and Bundled Sage for the stem). Then I adhered the petals with foam adhesives to bring out the different layers. I wanted to add some foiling to the card so I used Stick & Shine sheet Refinement and pink foil to create the side panel. After the Stick & Shine was in place, I ink blended some Distress Oxide inks in the same colours as I used on the flower to colour the panel. The sentiment comes from the new sentiment set Brighten the World and for the word 'miracles', I used the same DO ink colours as I used on the flower and the side panel. After adhering all the elements in their places, I embellished the card with some gems.

Flower Family

I fell in love with these floral dies the minute I saw them! They are so pretty, dainty and quirky all at the same time. They are new dies from the latest Penny Black release 'Shining Wings' and they are called Flower Family.

I die cut the flowers (there are four dies in the set but I only used three here) and coloured them by ink blending some Distress Oxide inks on them (Saltwater Taffy and Abandoned Coral on the flowers, Bundled Sage on the stems). I then used Berry Basket die to die cut the pot and the leaves (the leaves are actually branches of a tree) and coloured them with Distress Oxide inks as well (Bundled Sage for the leaves and Brushed Corduroy on the edges of the pot die cut out of grey cardstock). I then used All-in-One Oval die to die cut the elements of the background and after adhering them on my cardbase, I adhered the flowers in their pot and stamped a sentiment from the new sentiment set Brighten the World on the panel. Lastly, I embellished the flowers with some half pearls.
