Penny Black: Just Relax

Although I can tell fall is in the air and Labor Day is just around the corner (the unofficial end of summer), I wanted to create another card with the Penny Black Summer Fun 30-107 stamp set.

Penny Black: Just Relax

I stamped the lawn chair with Versafine and heat embossed it with clear powder. Using Derwent Inktense watercolor pencils and Ink Potion No. 9, I colored the chairs in bright colors. In my previous card with this set, I used circles of different sizes to create variety. In this case, I used repetition to strengthen the design.

Have a terrific week and enjoy these last few weeks of summer!

Penny Black Homemade

Cute mice in the kitchen!? What? The one time I did have mice in the kitchen, in a Victorian home in Cambridge, Massachusetts, there was nothing cute about it. But with the Penny Black Homemade (30-119) stamp set, which is part of the Margaret Sherry Collection, there’s nothing but fun!

I watercolored the mice, stamped with Versafine ink and heat embossed with clear powder, with both Prismacolor and Derwent Inktense watercolor pencils. The patterned paper is from the Echo Park Sweet Girl collection.

Penny Black In a Row – One More Card

I couldn’t resist crafting a Halloween-themed card with the new Penny Black In a Row die cut (51-001).

I used the same card design as the one I shared in yesterday’s post, stamping the sentiment from the Penny Black Hoot of a Time (40-152) stamp set on a slightly larger die-cut circle. The purple panel has been stamped with the Penny Black Indian Wheel (40-202) background stamp in dye ink.

Penny Black In a Row Creative Die

There are so many possibilities for creating with the new Penny Black In a Row die cut (51-001)!

I added the die-cut birds to the top of a panel stamped with the Penny Black Indian Wheel (40-202) background stamp in dye ink. The card base is stamped in Versafine ink with the Penny Black Moment of Joy (4303F) sentiment stamp. I added a die cut circle for both design and color balance.
