It’s your Special Day with Penny Black

simplicity sister

Today I am back sharing a card using some of the new Penny Black products from their latest release Bring on the Happy.

I have created a fun scene using the Live it Up! stamp set and paired it with a sentiment from the Sprinkles and Smiles stamp set. I coloured in the balloons with Copics and added some clear Wink of Stella glitter pen for some subtle shine. I masked off a circle and blended in some Salty Ocean distress ink to create the sky.

A Special Wish – Penny Black

simplicity sister

Today I am sharing another CAS card using some more fabulous Penny Black products.
I stamped a background pattern using some of the leaf images from the Petal Power stamp set in a teal coloured pigment ink. The red dots were made with a red Copic marker. The sentiment is from the Special Wishes stamp set which I cut out and popped up on some foam squares.

Wow what a HUGE response we had at Muse Card Club last week for our 1ooth Challenge. So to kick off the 101st challenge, I have a very clean and simple card for you.

Simple elegance | Marion Vagg

This card is a mini card (approximately 3.5 x 4.5 inches). It was actually one card of a set of 6 cards which I made for my daughter’s preschool teacher. I couldn’t help making them in a rainbow of bright colours.
