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.

Penny Black 30-432 Hope Shines stamp set

Thanks for your company today. I hope you are having a fabulous week.

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.

Hello. I am slowly get back onto the card making bandwagon again. I have had family staying with us the last 2 weeks and that has involved a lot of things, but not any card making. It felt good to get back into it today.

I have a Penny Black card to share with you using the adorable Bunny Love die. I blended in some Candied Apple, Spiced Marmalade and Fossilized Amber Oxide inks onto some white card stock. I spritzed it with some water before die cutting out the bunnies. I then die cut the bunnies again from white card stock and inlaid them into the coloured panel. I then adhered another white layer of die cuts over the top of that to add some subtle dimension.

The sentiment is part of a sentiment from the Smitten stamp set, which is a newly released stamp set.

A simple but striking card that was fairly quick to make.
