Penny Black – Window Flower Box Die-cut Scene

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS die-cut card featuring Penny Black supplies – old and new. I added a flower window box, cut with the A Garden die set, to the Ironwork Window.

To create the card base, I dry-embossed SU Smoky Slate cardstock with a Taylored Expressions embossing folder.
I stamped the Penny Black Stitched Flowers sentiment in Gray Flannel ink on white cardstock. Then I die cut the window and trimmed the panel down. The window die cuts the top, bottom, and center, and it scores the sides so that the window could be opened.
I backed the window panel with SU So Saffron cardstock and attached it to the card base.
I die-cut the box, foliage, and blooms, with dies in the A Garden set, from SU Bermuda Bay, SU Granny Apple Green, and SU Poppy Parade.
Once the window box and flowers were attached to the window, the upper part of the card seemed too empty. I found heart dies in older PB sets – What’s in Your Cup? and Little Ornaments – and cut a few to add above the window box.

Gone Fishing!

Hello! Seems as if everywhere I turn, there are people fishing! Today I am sharing a watercolored Penny Black image paired with a punny sentiment created on my computer. The image is from an older (and favorite!) Penny Black stamp set – Sunny Days. Let’s take a look!

I stamped the image with VersaFine ink on Cold Press watercolor paper.
I colored the image with Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors. The background was colored with the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Marker in Light Blue.
I used square dies to cut a frame from the cardstock on which I printed the sentiment, as well as from TE Sweet Potato Pie cardstock for an inner mat.

Penny Black – Watercolored Bear Cuddle

Hello! Today I am sharing a sweet scene showcasing the Penny Black Bear Cuddle stamp and coordinating die.

I stamped the image on different papers and colored it with a variety of mediums. In the end, this one, watercolored with the Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors on Arches Cold Press paper, was my favorite.

Once dry, I cut the image with the coordinating die. I’m delighted that Penny Black now has coordinating dies for many of their images!

I added Distress Oxide ink to the top of a square panel and stamped it with the sentiment from the Flower Teddy set.

Originally, I envisioned a green card base (to tie in with the cushion in the image), but I didn’t have any green cardstock in the same shade. I ended up using Lawn Fawn Paper Bag.

Watercolored Penny Black Floral

Hello! Today I am sharing a floral card watercolored with Zig Clean Color Brush markers.

I stamped Penny Black’s Sweet Perfume (this is an older cling stamp which appears to be retired) with Versafine ink on Canson Montval paper. I colored the image with a variety of Zig markers including Carmine, Light Carmine, Yellow, Bright Yellow, Orange, Light Green, May Green, and Persian Blue.

Once dry, I trimmed the watercolored panel to 4 1/2″ wide by 5 1/2″ tall.

I stamped and heat-embossed the sentiment from the Sentiment Collection set and cut it with the smaller tag in the 51-007 Tagged die set. I cut the tag reinforcement piece from black cardstock. I attached the tag to the background with dimensional adhesive and used twine to finish off the card.

Penny Black Flower Cascade

Hello! Today I am sharing a watercolored card featuring Penny Black’s Flower Cascade stamp. I have been watercoloring recently and this image came immediately to mind as something with which to practice.

I stamped the image on Canson Montval watercolor paper with Versafine ink.
I watercolored the image with Zig markers.
Once dry I stamped the panel with a sentiment in the Penny Black Special Sentiments set (I’ve been using this set a lot lately).

Hope your week is off to a terrific start!
