Penny Black - Right as Rain

Penny Black | Dance in the Rain

Hello! Today I am sharing a friendship card created with Penny Black supplies featuring a water-colored image from the Dance in the Rain stamp set. I recently shared a card created with the same stamp set here. I have been playing with a variety of watercolor mediums as of late.

Penny Black | Dance in the Rain

Hello! Today I am sharing a friendship card created with Penny Black supplies featuring a water-colored image from the Dance in the Rain stamp set. This set was introduced in June 2021. It has been a while (several years!) since I have colored with watercolors.

Stamp Dance in the Rain image with VersaFine ink on Arches Cold Pressed Watercolor Pad.
Color image with Gansai Tambi paints. I used 44 brown, 63 blue, 32 red, 43 yellow, 54 green, 35 pink, 20 black.
Stamp image on to masking paper and fussy cut. Once image is dry, add mask to image and apply Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink for sky and Mowed Lawn for the ground. Cut with circle in the Hero Arts set.
Create card background from patterned paper and attach to A2-size card base.
Cut Dream Big sentiment twice (for extra depth). I like this sentiment a lot and think it pairs nicely with the dogs sharing an umbrella.
Add sentiment and image circle to background; embellish with enamel dots (Taylored Expressions brand shown).

Penny Black | Thank You Bouquet

Hello! Today I am sharing a card created combining Penny Black supplies – dies, background stamp, and clear stamp set. I previously created similar cards that can you see here and here.

I primarily used Bazzill Card Shoppe cardstock on this card. The specific colors are listed below. I have found starlitstudio.net to be a great resource for Bazzill Card Shoppe.

Stamp Enlightened background on Citrus Slice card base with Memento Cantaloupe ink for a tone-on-tone look.
Cut Creative Curves from Robin’s Egg cardstock; back with Jawbreaker panel.
Cut Daisy Delight from white and Caramel Apple cardstock. Trim off blooms and add to stems. Color centers of flowers with Copic markers Y 32 and Y 38.
Cut Penny Black Mason Jar (available on the Penny Black website) from Sea Glass cardstock. Cut a slit in the jar for the stems; color with Distress Oxide ink for dimension. Slip assembled flowers through the slit and tape on back. Tie natural twine around the top.
Stamp Flower Teddy sentiment on white cardstock in black ink. Trim with banner die.
Add Creative Curves assembly to card base. Add assembled jar and flowers. Add sentiment strip. Embellish with butterfly cut with die in the Penny Black Flights of Fancy set (available on the Penny Black website).

Penny Black Garden Fresh

Hello! I created a friendship/encouragement card to showcase the 30-816 Garden Fresh stamp set (with coordinating die) from the Penny Black “Delight” release.

I stamped the 40-776 Enlightened background stamp in Dandelion ink on yellow cardstock and cut the panel to A2-size.
I stamped, Copic-colored, and die-cut the watering can and blooms with 30-816 Garden Fresh and 51-703 Garden Fresh Cut Out.
I stamped the 30-712 Words of Encouragement sentiment on to a Distress Oxide Ink cardstock panel.
I cut the 51-636 Dainty Dashes Stackers panel from white cardstock, and by cutting the center with a rectangular die, I created a frame.
