It’s been a little while since I have posted, but life has just been SUPER busy of late. I did however get crafty recently and created this card for Penny Black. It uses the Dynamic stamp set and the sentiment is from the Hope Shines set.
I sponged one some Salty Ocean and Lucky Clover Distress Oxide ink onto some smooth white card stock before splattering it with water droplets which I mopped up with a paper towel. Once dry, I made sure to use an anti-static powder bag before white heat embossing the flowers and the sentiment. I wanted the blooms to pop even more, so I covered them generously with some shimmer using a clear Wink of Stella glitter brush pen. It is so shimmery in real life and the photo below captures it a bit better.

Today I am sharing a card that I made for the Jane’s Doodles blog last week – using one of my favourite JD sets called Love Birds.
I die cut several circles from masking paper and then inked up the circles with various Distress inks. I made sure to place the larger circles where I wanted the birds to be. I did a little bit of water flicking to distress the circles a bit, but as I didn’t use watercolour paper, it didn’t react with the inks quite like I had hoped. I then stamped and coloured the images with Copic markers, before fussy cutting them out and adhering them to the card. I stamped the sentiment directly onto the card base.

I’m stopping in tonight with a cute Penny Black critter card just in time for Valentine’s Day. This cute hedgehog is from the Furry Hugs stamp set and the sentiment and envelope are from the Smitten stamp set.
I hand cut the clouds from some masking paper and just moved it around and sponged on some Salty Ocean distress ink. The images are stamped and coloured with Copic markers.
