Today I have a colourful card showcasing some Penny Black products. I started by stamping the hexagon stamp from the Penny Black Textures stamp set repeatedly down a piece onto watercolour paper. I then heat embossed it with white embossing powder. Next was the fun part – I went to town with a rainbow of Distress Ink colours, a paintbrush and some water.

I did some partial stamping to create the sentiment. The Happy is from the Sprinkles and Smiles stamp set and the Birthday is from the Good Day stamp set.

Penny Black products used:
Textures Stamp set 30-240
Sprinkles and Smiles Stamp set 30-297
Good Day Stamp set 30-241
Chat Bubbles Creative Dies 51-003

Hi, I hope you have had a great week. I’ve just come back from a weekend away at my parent’s farm. I also got to attend my 20 year high school reunion! Wow, what a blast from the past, but it was great catching up people I haven’t seen in 20 years – I’m feeling rather old right at this moment!

Anyway, it’s my turn over on the Jane’s Doodles blog again today. Being winter here in Australia, this little snow man was begging to be coloured and placed into a snowy scene. It’s cold here now – so thankful for our wood fire! The idea of a cold Christmas is just so foreign to me, but I do like the idea of it! However, the closest I am going to get to a wintery Christmas, is to have it in June!

The diagonal stripes in the background were created with texture paste, coloured with some Peacock Feathers Distress ink. I think it creates a chilly background perfect for my snowman. He is coloured with Copic Markers.

It’s a bit hard to tell, but I’ve added some glitter to his hat.

I recently had this card up on the Jane’s Doodles blog. It was a really simple card to make. I white heat embossed some flowers from the Doodles Flowers and Doodle Flowers ii stamps sets onto some water colour paper before going to town with some water colour paints. I’ve been having some fun with water colouring lately – it is such a forgiving medium to work with.

Popping in quickly with a card for Jane’s Doodles. I masked off a circle on some watercolour paper and then went to town with some Distress Inks and a paintbrush. The Fox is from Jane’s Doodles Hello Friend set and the sentiment is from the Doodle Flower’s 2 stamp set. I think it looks like he is sitting in front of a huge moon!

Thanks for visiting my blog today. Until next time.

I was determined NOT to make a blue card for the Muse Card Club this month. Looking through my last Muse cards, blue seems to be something I gravitate too! So how about a dose of yellow for this month?

These sweet birds (coloured with Copics) are from the Penny Black ‘Woodland Friends’ Stamp set and the sentiment is also from a Penny Black set called ‘Live it Up!’. I created the background by creating a wash with Distress inks, and once dry, flicked on some splatters with a paintbrush.

Hope that you will be able to find some time this week to join in on the fun.
