Today I’m sharing two cards using the Penny Black Poppy Trio stamp [#40-311] .
For the first card, I stamped and heat embossed the image four times – on green, yellow, orange and dark orange cardstock. I then fussy cut the blossoms and adhered them to the green card panel. I finished the card with a sentiment from the Friendship Flowers set [#30-223].
For the next card, I stamped and heat embossed the image on Strathmore 140lb coldpress watercolor paper and colored the image with Distress Inks – Squeezed Lemonade, Wild Honey, Dried Marigold, Ripe Persimmon, Peeled Paint, and Tumbled Glass. I die cut the watercolored image and added a sentiment from the Penny Black Kind Words [#30-226] set, which was stamped and heat embossed on vellum.
Very pretty! I like both a lot. Pretty colors!
Both approaches are stunners. I am loving the watercolor just a smidge more….probably because of class. My normal inclination would be the brighter bold images. Loved your video in class today.
So beautiful, Jean! Very pretty!
Both are so elegant and clean, Jean – gorgeous! Loved your balloon video in class – you work magic with watercolours 🙂
