Penny Black - Right as Rain

Penny Black Autumn is Calling

Hello! Today I am sharing two CAS cards of the same design that use the same two Penny Black products from the Autumn 2021 release.

For both, I began by stamping the 40-788 Autumn Majesty image with white pigment ink.

Once the panels were dry, I stamped the same image again with dye inks slightly offset from the white pigment ink image. On one, I used a variety of Distress Ink colors for the acorns and leaves. On the other, I used one dye ink color (to coordinate with the cardstock color).

I stamped the 30-863 Autumn is Calling sentiment in brown ink on off-white cardstock, which I cut with a stitched rectangle die.
