Cardmaking and Scrapbooking with Jean Manis

I’m over at the Penny Black Simplicity blog today with a card featuring the Creative Die, 51-144 In the Garden. I hope you’ll head over to take a look.
Today, I’m sharing a CAS summer-themed card showcasing the Penny Black #40-374 Effulgence stamp set.
I created the background by smooshing a combination of Distress Inks onto the mixed media paper/cardstock. Once the background was dry, I stamped the Penny Black #40-374 Effulgence image in black ink and added a sentiment from the Penny Black #30-280 A Sweet Day set. I cut the panel with a scalloped die and adhered it to a colored cardstock background.

Today, I’m sharing two cards featuring Penny Black stamps #40-376 Winged Beauty and #30-297 Sprinkles and Smiles.
For both cards, I stamped the sentiment from #30-297 Sprinkles and Smiles first. I coloredthe bird on a branch and the branch images (from the #40-376 Winged Beauty set), with Memento markers before stamping. I tried a number of color combinations before selecting Bahama Blue, Tangelo, Bamboo Leaves and Rosebud. For the horizontal card, I cut the stamped panel with a rectangle die and adhered it with dimensional adhesive to a woodgrain-embossed cardstock.
For my second card, I stamped directly onto the card base for a one-layer card and used a vertical design.
Hello! I have a card over on the Penny Black Simplicity site today! I hope you’ll head on over to check it out.
