Penny Black – The Joy of Plants

Hello! Today I am sharing a friendship card created with Penny Black supplies.

I stamped the sentiment from 30-710 Trust Me Builder and cut it with a 1/4″ die.
I inked cardstock in shades of green and stamped the plant images with the 30-701 Groovy Greenery stamp set; I fussy cut the images.
I heat-embossed and fussy-cut the vases.
I cut two circles, one from patterned paper, the other from white cardstock, and added the assembly to a patterned paper card base.
I assembled the vases and plants and added them to the circle. I placed the sentiment strip below.
For additional interest, I added butterflies cut with a die in the 51-132 Flights of Fancy set.

Hello! Today I am sharing two projects created with supplies from Spellbinders to showcase the Marvelous Mermaids Collection by Jane Davenport.

On the first card, I combined the Mermaid Paper Doll with the Mermaid Scale Tiles.

I colored Soft-Finish cardstock with a variety of Distress Oxide Inks in shades of blue and cut the pieces with the second smallest die in the tiles set.
I used the template provided on the Spellbinders site to lay out the tiles and adhered them to a piece of aqua paper.
I colored the mermaid pieces with pastel in the Birthday Suit set and Distress Oxide inks.
For the torso piece: I stamped the bikini top, masked it, sponged on the pastel, removed the mask, and brushed on green ink to the bikini top. Then I put the cardstock back into the stamp press (on which I had left the stamp) and restamped the bikini top.
I stamped the face onto cardstock colored with the pastels; I stamped the hair onto cardstock colored with Distress Ink.
I cut all of the pieces with their corresponding dies and attached the pieces with brads.
I foiled the Thank You sentiment with black foil and cut it with a circle die.
I added the sentiment and mermaid to the tile background (measuring 5″ wide x 6 1/4″ tall).

My second card showcases the She Sells Sea Shells stamp set.

I foiled the Thank You sentiment in black foil on light blue cardstock.
I colored Soft Finish cardstock with Distress Oxide Inks.
I stamped the She Sells Sea Shells images onto the colored cardstock and fussy-cut them.
I trimmed the sentiment panel to 4″ wide x 5 1/4″ tall and added it to an A2-sized Brush Gold card base.
I scattered the shells on to the card front and adhered them with dot adhesive.
