Oh my! How this year is flying by. Today I have a Christmas card to share with you using some gorgeous Penny Black products. Lots of ink blending on this one – with three of my most favourite Distress inks – Picked Raspberry, Ripe Persimmon and Mustard Seed. Once my panel was inked, I flicked it with some water and a paintbrush and dabbed it with a dry cloth to create the spatters.

I then die cut the Penny Black Twirl Tree three times and adhered these together with some spray adhesive. I also die cut the Penny Black Hello Christmas sentiment three times from white card stock and adhered these together. The celebrate sentiment is from the Holiday Snippets stamp set.

Hello again! Three posts in three days is such a rarity for me! But I do have some fun Christmas tags using some new Penny Black  products that I hope you will like.

A couple of week’s ago, I made this card which uses the same technique as the tags below. I stamped a whole lot of images from the Penny Black Tiny Treasures stamp set onto water colour, and then loosely water coloured around the images to create a fun and whimsical effect. To add some extra sparkle, I coloured in all the white images with a clear Wink of Stella glitter brush pen. They are really sparkly and shimmery in real life, but was hard to capture in the photos.

The sentiments are from the Holiday Snippets stamp set, which has just about every Christmas greeting you will ever need!

Hello! I had a lot of fun making this card. I wanted something colourful and ombre – hence this card was born! It uses this small Penny Black butterfly die that I had to run through my die cutting machine 18 times. But I had an idea and I had to go with it!

I coloured each butterfly with 3 colours of Copic marker – it wasn’t hard at all. After I had die cut 3 butterflies, I put them back into the negative space and coloured them quickly. To help me line them up, I drew a grid on the white panel, then erased it once they were adhered.

Well we are into the second week of the school holidays. We have had some lovely family time together – fishing, building Lego and generally lazing around! That’s what holidays are for aren’t they?

Until next time,
