Penny Black – Watercolored Little Charmer

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS Valentine card featuring Penny Black supplies from the “Share the Love” collection.

Penny Black Little Charmer

  • I stamped the #30-662 Little Charmer bear image in Versafine ink on Cold Press watercolor paper and watercolored him.
  • Once dry, I cut the bear with its companion die (I’m thrilled that Penny Black is creating these companion dies for many of their images).
  • I sponged Squeezed Lemonade ink on to a 3 3/4″ x 5″ panel.
  • I stamped the #30-667 Love Language sentiment in black ink on the panel.
  • I added the panel to a white linen cardstock base and added the bear to the assembly with foam adhesive.

Penny Black – Glittered Red Roses

Hello! I’m moving on to Valentine’s Day with my cardmaking. Today, I am sharing a  CAS card created with supplies from the just-released Penny Black “Share the Love” collection.

Penny Black - Glittered Red Roses

  • I cut the #51-593 Red Roses from white cardstock. I applied double-sided adhesive to the cardstock on the ends. I was able to line the rose dies up so only the blossom portion was cut from the double-sided adhesive portion.
  • I exposed the adhesive on the front side of the roses and applied red microfine glitter.
  • I cut the bow/ribbon (die included in the Red Roses set) from silver cardstock.
  • I heat-embossed the sentiment from the #30-667 Love Language stamp set in white on a teal cardstock panel.
  • I trimmed the heat-embossed panel and added it to a card base covered with a white linen cardstock.
  • I added the assembled Red Roses to the card with foam adhesive, adhering the silver bow/ribbon with glue.

Penny Black Watercolored Christmas Critter

Hello! Today I am sharing a Christmas card featuring a watercolored critter from the Penny Black stamp set #30-385 Santa’s Helpers.

Penny Black Watercolored Christmas Critter

 

  • I stamped the skating mouse on to Cold Pressed paper with Versafine ink and colored him with Gansai Tambi watercolors.
  • Once dry, I stamped a mask for the mouse and brushed Tumbled Glass Distress ink off of a masked “ice” ground.
  • I framed the image with a cardstock panel cut with the 4 1/2″ square in the #51-422 Stitched Square and Circles die set and a circle in the #51-551 Stitched Circles set, which leaves a pattern on the outside of its cut. I also added an inner mat, which was created with a plain circle die.
  • I added a die-cut sentiment, cut with one of the dies in the #51-021 Love & Joy set from gold cardstock.
