It’s a beautiful day in the Pacific Northwest, and I’m sharing a spring-themed card created with Penny Black supplies.
To begin, I cut a watercolor paper panel and applied Distress Inks to it and then sprayed it with water. After drying it, I added some more ink from my craft sheet. It took several applications of ink and water, followed by drying, to get the panel to my liking. After the panel was dry, I stamped it with the Penny Black Star Ivy [#40-310] background stamp from the brand-new Bloom release and heat-embossed it with white powder.
I stamped and heat embossed one of the sentiments from Penny Black’s Life’s Messages [#40-237] set. I’m particularly fond of the messages on this image.
I cut the bird and branch out of watercolor paper with the Perched [#51-031] die cut. In the same manner as I did for the panel, I applied Distress Inks, sprayed it with water and dried it. I finished everything off with a piece of May Arts twine.
I’m over in the Ellen Hutson CLASSroom today with a review on make-your-own mists and the Distress Marker Spritzer. I’d love to have you visit.
The Penny Black Birthday Party [#30-232] stamp set includes adorable images, suitable for birthday card recipients of any age! I watercolored one of the images with watercolor pencils for a special someone’s birthday card.
I adhered the watercolored panel, with I cut with a rectangle die, to a card base stamped and heat embossed with the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Sentimental [#30-176] set.
And off into the mail it goes!
