Today I’m sharing card made with some Penny Black wood mounted rubber stamps – Blush and Iris.
These “brush stroke” stamp designs work beautifully with the distress paints. For the card I made with the Blush stamp, which is a coneflower, I paired bright colors with a neutral background and a sentiment from the Friendship stamp. I stamped the olive green panel with the Penny Black Letter Background stamp using Versamark ink for a hint of texture.
I created a similarly designed card with the Iris stamp. I love irises of all colors, and they’re certainly in bloom around here right now! The dark blue ones have always been my favorite. For this image, I paired Salty Ocean and Chipped Sapphire distress paints for the flower’s petals. The Salty Ocean lifted the darker sapphire color just a bit. I dry embossed olive cardstock for the card base.
Have you checked out the new collection being featured this week on the Penny Black blog? The “elegant and cute” new release stamps are available for purchase Friday, May 31.
Supplies: Penny Black Iris, Blush and Letter Background stamps; Stampin’ Up cardstock

Great job! Love both cards.
What gorgeous cards! I love the flowers and how beautifully they stamped. The texture of the backgrounds really make the image pop.
