All you need is love and a dog…

simplicity sister

Hello! I’m knee deep in report writing at the moment, so I’m just quickly popping in with another Penny Black card. This cute little puppy is from a set called Buddy and Duck. Lots of cute images in this set. I sponged on some distress ink over the top of the Zigs and Zags stencil. The sentiment paired so well with the image and it is from the Sentiment Collection set. I’m more of a cat person myself, but I do like it that most dogs are so loyal and happy.

For You – Penny Black

simplicity sister

I’m back with another Penny Black card. No stamps used on this one, only dies. I used the Party For You sentiment die and the Love is Growing die. To adhere all the dies to the card panel, I first applied a piece of double sided adhesive sheet to the back of my card stock. I then ran the dies through my die cut, essentially creating my own die cut stickers. It saved me a lot of hassle as I didn’t have to apply an liquid adhesives which can get messy.

Watercolour Medallion – Penny Black

simplicity sister

I’m back with another Penny Black card using some products from their latest release.

I usually create a background like this one with distress inks. But this time I used Kuretake watercolours instead. What I love about these paints is that they are so creamy. I started by wetting some water colour paper with plain water and a paint brush. I then randomly painted on some teals and blues and let the water do the blending. I dried this with my heat tool, before putting some of the watercolours onto my craft mat and adding water to make little pools of colour. I then dabbed the paper into the paint to create the splotches. I did this several times until I was happy with the result.

Once the panel was completely dry, I die cut it with the Penny Black Medallion Creative die. I removed some of the die cut pieces and then adhered the rest onto a card base with some liquid glue. The Hello die cut is from the Penny Black Hello Christmas word set. I really love how it turned out.
