I couldn’t resist…

Published by Julia Stainton at 1:24 pm under Card Designs, Challenges

Some new goodies while I was out running errands today! I just ADORE Penny Black stamps… and their fresh new line is SO gorgeous! I especially love this doodle-style image that is so flexible. Depending on the coloring it can be elegant or funky! I needed another birthday card and I decided to work this card in with today’s color challenge…Pretty in Pink, Bravo Burgundy and Always Artichoke. I actually used Regal rose instead of Pretty in Pink…it has been a long day and somehow I got it mixed up…it DOES look pretty close! If you want to play along, the link is here.

This card is nice and clean stamped right on the card and a little border added. I used my slit punch to punch a little strip of Basic Grey Phoebe paper (love, love, love it!) that I bought from Jacksonbelle. One of my other favorite new embellishments it the gorgoeus Pink velvet May Arts ribbon from Starlitstudio. the image was stamped with Black Stazon and then watercolored with my SU Aquapainter. The flower have a little glitter on their centers and I added a darling little black embossed brad. I have no idea where I came from and I really wish I did. I’m almost out of them and I’d love to replace them! The beautiful Penny Black sentiment actually is much more legible in person. My photography skills are improving but alas…sometimes I just can’t get it quite right.

    I too love the Penny Black stamps - especially those crazy cows & chickens! The card you made is beautiful. I must drag myself away from the animals & check out their other stamps. Thanks.

    WOW! I love how fresh and clean looking this card is!

    I don’t get why others use the corner rounder when the slit punch (as you did) works great without removing parts?

    Thanks for sharing!
