Today, I’m sharing a card created with the Penny Black 40-350 Tree-Lined background stamp and several Penny Black die cuts.
I inked the Tree-Lined background stamp with several Distress Inks, in shades of blue-green, and then lightly misted the stamp. I laid a piece of Ranger watercolor paper on top of the stamp and pressed lightly.
Once dry, I trimmed the panel and attached it to a red card base. The “Merry” sentiment, die cut from the 51-021 Love & Joy set, was adhered to the smaller tag from the 51-007 Tagged die cut set. I cut the “Merry” out of gold foil, as well as out of white cardstock in order to add some depth. I used the Zig Memory Two-Way Fine Tip Pen to glue the foil die cut to the white cardstock one.
Love that watercolored background and the gorgeous font of that sentiment!
Those greens are wonderful with just a hint of blue. Such a fresh and festive card Jean. Love it.
Your card is absolutely charming.
I love the way you created the background

Love your water colored background and your sentiment is so pretty, Jean…I think the gold foil cardstock really makes it pop! Beautiful card, as always!
