Hello! I am back sharing a card for Penny Black using some awesome goodies from the latest ‘Share the Love’ release. With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, this release has lots of inspiration for that someone special in your life.

I stamped and water coloured the images from the Tenderness stamp set with Zig clean color real water brush pens, then die cut them out using the coordinating cut outs. The banner and sentiment are from the Banner Blooms set. There is a coordinating cut out set for this stamp set as well, but I didn’t use it for this card.

Once I had all the images coloured and cut out, I arranged them onto some textured card stock with 3D mounting tape and then adhered the panel to a teal coloured card base.

Happy Friday! I’m back with another card using products from the latest Penny Black release called Full Bloom.

Today’s card uses a cute critter from a set called It’s Your Day. There are some cute images in this set.

I painted a subtle watercolour wash for the background. Once it was dry, I stamped the image in VersaFine Onyx black ink. I then stamped the image again with Copic friendly ink onto some Copic friendly card stock and coloured the image with Copics. I fussy cut around the mouse and balloon, then adhered them onto the watercolour piece. The sentiment is from the same set.

Hi! I’m back with another Jane’s Doodles card using a gorgeous stamp set called Deck the Halls. I am doing well – I think this is my second Christmas card I’ve made and it’s only October!

I pulled out a cheap set of watercolour paints for this one. Lots of layers and heat setting between layers. I thought I had ruined this on many occasions, but watercolours are very forgiving and somehow I kept adding and ended up with this! I sewed on some silver thread for something different.

Head on over to the Jane’s Doodles blog for more awesome inspiration.

Hello! Today I have a sneak peek of my card that is over on the Penny Black Simplicity at its Best blog at the moment. I hope you will head on over and check it out. For this card I was trying to emulate the very talented Norine Borys. She is one talented card maker and I just love her awesome watercolour style. Make sure you check her blog out as well.

Happy Sunday. I’m popping in with a card using some Penny Black products. I water coloured this floral image from the Penny Black Sublime stamp set with watercolour paints. Once dry, I added some extra shading with Prismacolor pencils.

The sentiment is from the Penny Black Gifts From Above stamp set. The frame is a Penny Black creative die called Stitched Square and Circles.

I added some ink splatters and some twine and a bow – something I haven’t done in a long time.

Penny Black products used:

Penny Black 30-478 Sublime stamp set
Penny Black 30-429 Gifts From Above stamp set
Penny Black 51-422 Stitched Square and Circles Creative dies

I hope you are having a great week.

Happy Easter to you and your loved ones. I’m back today with my fourth card for Penny Black, using products from their latest catalogue called Sweet Spring. For today’s card and tag, I’ve used a rubber stamp called Blissful Blooms.

Blissful Blooms

I create the card and the tag (Tagged Creative die), I placed the Blissful Bloom stamp onto a stamping positioning tool. I then used both Distress markers and Tombow markers to colour directly onto the rubber stamp. Once coloured, I spritzed the stamp with some water from a spray bottle and then stamped it onto the watercolour paper. I immediately heat set it with a heat tool. I love the water coloured effect that this technique creates.

To intensify the shading on the leaves and stems, I used some Prismacolor pencils. I placed some Nuvo Crystal drops onto the centres of the flowers.

The sentiment comes from the Happy Critters stamp set.

Penny Black products used:

Penny Black 40-600 Blissful Blossoms stamp
Penny Black 30-479 Happy Critters stamp set
Penny Black 51-007 Tagged Creative die set

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you have a blessed Easter.
