I&#8217;m back with my fifth and final installment for\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pennyblackinc.com\">Penny Black,<\/a>\u00a0using products from their latest catalogue called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pennyblackinc.com\/catalogs\/2018_Penny_Black_sweet_spring.pdf\">Sweet Spring.<\/a>\u00a0Actually I have 2 cards to share &#8211; very similar, yet slightly different. The main focus of both cards uses this awesome Creative die called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pennyblackinc.com\/display_item.php?PID=12071&amp;CAT=dies\">Leaf Pattern.<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pennyblackinc.com\/display_item.php?PID=12071&amp;CAT=dies\">Leaf Pattern<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-32703\" src=\"http:\/\/mademarion.vagg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/51-432.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mademarion.vagg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/51-432.jpg 400w, https:\/\/mademarion.vagg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/51-432-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mademarion.vagg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/51-432-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mademarion.vagg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/51-432-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>First I created an inked panel using Salty Ocean, Lucky Clover and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide inks. I die cut this panel with the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pennyblackinc.com\/display_item.php?PID=12071&amp;CAT=dies\">Leaf Pattern<\/a> die. I also die cut another one out, but from white card stock. I then inlaid all of the coloured pieces into the white negative space and also the white pieces into the coloured negative space &#8211; to create two panels that are the opposite of each other. This was quite time consuming, but I found this quite therapeutic and relaxing.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1531\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-32701\" style=\"width: 600px; height: auto;\" src=\"http:\/\/mademarion.vagg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/MG_2686.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mademarion.vagg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/MG_2686.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/mademarion.vagg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/MG_2686-235x300.jpg 235w, https:\/\/mademarion.vagg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/MG_2686-768x980.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mademarion.vagg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/MG_2686-803x1024.jpg 803w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This first card was the easier of the two cards to make. To finish this one off, I die cut a black banner using the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pennyblackinc.com\/display_item.php?PID=11756&amp;CAT=dies\">Birds and Banners<\/a> Creative dies and white heat embossed the sentiment which is from the coordinating <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pennyblackinc.com\/display_item.php?PID=11743&amp;CAT=RStransparentsets\">Banner Sentiments<\/a> stamp set. I added some subtle shading to the banner with a white Prismacolor pencil to give it some dimension.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-32702\" style=\"width: 600px; height: auto;\" src=\"http:\/\/mademarion.vagg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/MG_2693.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mademarion.vagg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/MG_2693.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/mademarion.vagg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/MG_2693-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mademarion.vagg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/MG_2693-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mademarion.vagg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/MG_2693-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For the second card I stepped it up a notch. I die cut a circle into the Leaf Pattern panel using the circle from the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pennyblackinc.com\/display_item.php?PID=11869&amp;CAT=dies\">Layered Xmas Wreath<\/a> die set. Behind the window that this created, a placed an impressed panel of the Leaf Pattern die, making sure to line up the patterns. The wonderful word sentiment is from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pennyblackinc.com\/display_item.php?PID=11615&amp;CAT=dies\">Awesome<\/a> creative die set, which I die cut three times and adhered together to make it stronger. I suspended this over the window.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1424\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-32699\" style=\"width: 600px; height: auto;\" src=\"http:\/\/mademarion.vagg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/MG_2677-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mademarion.vagg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/MG_2677-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/mademarion.vagg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/MG_2677-2-253x300.jpg 253w, https:\/\/mademarion.vagg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/MG_2677-2-768x911.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mademarion.vagg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/MG_2677-2-863x1024.jpg 863w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I found a felt heart floating around in my stash, and it fit perfectly behind the sentiment and in the window. It was just a pop of colour that this card needed. I coated the wonderful sentiment in a layer of clear shimmer pen.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"871\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-32700\" style=\"width: 600px; height: auto;\" src=\"http:\/\/mademarion.vagg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/MG_2678.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mademarion.vagg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/MG_2678.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/mademarion.vagg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/MG_2678-300x218.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mademarion.vagg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/MG_2678-768x557.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mademarion.vagg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/MG_2678-1024x743.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Penny Black products used:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pennyblackinc.com\/display_item.php?PID=12071&amp;CAT=dies\">Penny Black 51-432 Leaf Pattern Creative die<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pennyblackinc.com\/display_item.php?PID=11615&amp;CAT=dies\">Penny Black 51-333 Awesome Creative dies<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pennyblackinc.com\/display_item.php?PID=11743&amp;CAT=RStransparentsets\">Penny Black 30-423 Banner Sentiments stamp<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pennyblackinc.com\/display_item.php?PID=11756&amp;CAT=dies\">Penny Black 51-352 Birds and Banners Creative dies<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pennyblackinc.com\/display_item.php?PID=11756&amp;CAT=dies\">Penny Black 51-362 Layered Xmas Wreath Creative dies<\/a><\/p>\n<div class='et-learn-more clearfix'>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class='heading-more'>Supplies<span class='et_learnmore_arrow'><span><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class='learn-more-content'><p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em><strong>Card 1: Happy Birthday<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Stamps:<\/span> Penny Black Banner Sentiments stamp set<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Card:<\/span> Strathmore Bristol Smooth White card stock, XPress-It Blending card<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Ink:<\/span>\u00a0Distress Oxide ink &#8211; Salty Ocean, Lucky Clover, Cracked Pistachio, Versamark ink<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Other Supplies:<\/span>\u00a0Prismacolor pencils (White, PM121 Colorless blender),\u00a0 Penny Black Leaf Pattern Creative die, Penny Black Birds and Banners Creative die, Cuttlebug, White Embossing powder, Anti- Static powder bag,\u00a0Heat tool, 3D mounting foam<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em><strong>Card 2: Wonderful<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Stamps:<\/span> None<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Card:<\/span> Strathmore Bristol Smooth White card stock, XPress-It Blending card, Black card stock<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Ink:<\/span>\u00a0Distress Oxide ink &#8211; Salty Ocean, Lucky Clover, Cracked Pistachio<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Other Supplies:<\/span>\u00a0Penny Black Leaf Pattern Creative die, Penny Black Layered Xmas Wreath Creative die, Penny Black Awesome Creative die set, Cuttlebug, 3D mounting foam, Spellbinders tan embossing rubber mat, Red felt heart, Wink of Stells clear glitter brush pen.<\/p><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p>Thanks for all your visits this week.
