Penny Black | Watercolored Scooter
Hello! Today I am sharing a watercolored card, featuring an adorable scene of a critters that will bring a smile to the recipient’s face, created with Penny Black supplies. The card features an image from the Stamping with Scooter release of June 2021. You can view the Stamping with Scooter catalog HERE. I did not play enough with these products then, and I am making up for that now. Read below for details on how I made the card.
The whimsical Zooming By image shows three creatures in the midst of a Zoom call – one dog is in conversation with another furry friend and a friendly hedgehog. The set was designed during the height of the pandemic, when we turned to Zoom to communicate with others. That being said, this set is by no means outdated as virtual communication in our modern world is still relevant, even as in-person interactions resume.
- Stamp Zooming By image on Arches Cold Press watercolor paper with VersaFine ink; heat set. Color image with watercolor markers. Set aside to dry. Stamp image on Masking Magic Sheets and fussy-cut. Cover watercolored image with mask; apply Tumbled Glass and Hickory Smoke inks for the background.
- Stamp Puptastic sentiment on Chamomile cardstock. Trim panel to A2-size and cut with a die in the Stitched Circles set. Add the circle frame panel to the watercolored image and add assembly to card base.
