Simply Saturday - A Penny Black design
A fresh simple design for Saturday again. This new Penny Black image I recently got from Stamp Art is so gorgeous, simplicity is the best way to go! Nancy is fabulous and will ship anywhere so if you are looking for this image, give her a call! 
Heartfelt Thanks (click on pic for detail)
For this design, I stamped my image directly on a large square of vellum cardstock. The Palette Noir Hybrid ink from Stewart Superior works fabulous on the vellum….love this ink! Now what I love about this card, you really can’t see too well in the pic. I colored the flowers in with my Sakura Gelly Roll Glaze pens. So easy and quick but it gives a great shine and dimension to the image. I bought these from Stamp Art too! The biggest problem is keeping them out of the hands of my daughter! LOL
The rest of the design is pretty simple. The card base is 5″ square of Soft Sky cardstock and layered with Purely Pomegranate and then more Soft Sky. The vellum layer is attached with black brads. For the sentiment, I used another Papertrey Ink sentiment…I just love their sentiments!
Wishing you a very happy and safe weekend! Yay for a long Canada Day weekend here! And please, make sure you wear your sunscreen!

Just beautiful, Julia! I love that image and have been secretly lusting over it for a couple months, now! Hmmm you may have pushed me over the edge, LOL!
Have a great weekend!
That is so “rich” looking! Don’t ya just love those colors!?!
This is just gorgeous… LOVE the stamped image.
Oooh! How pretty!
So beautiful and one of those images that you can use for several occasions!
This is a beautiful stamp! I love anything this whimsical, pretty and delicate. It looks wonderful on the vellum and colored with the Gelly Roll pens. I MUST remember to pull those off the shelf and use them soon!
What a gorgeous card. I’m going to see if my LSS carries that stamp.
I do seem to have a hard time finding so many of the stamps I see being used by you and other’s whose blogs I frequent. And being in Canada I thought it would be a problem ordering from Jacksonbelle - but I’ll have to look into that now too.
Very pretty card. I love the colors and flowers are some of my favorite stamp images. I need to get those Gelly Roll Pens. Ida
This is so pretty. I love it on the vellum. Thanks for sharing!
STUNNING! Love that stamp!
Wow!! This card is so amazing!
So pretty, J! You make me want to pull out the vellum! You use it beautifully!
Gorgeous in every way! love the vellum, love the colors - I guess this is how we enable one another, huh? Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful.
What a gorgeous stamp! I never think to use vellum. Have to use it more often. Lovely card!
How beautiful this is on the vellum! Awesome stamp and coloring and so classy!
so very pretty!
Gorgeous Julia.
Love this card! The simple layout with the wonderful colors! I really need to try my hand at vellum again - this is very inspiring!
You just answered a question I had in this post! Today I wanted to stamp a sentiment on vellum, and I was wondering what the best ink was for that. I guessed right; I used my Pallette inks. Thanks for sharing your beautiful card.
This is soooo striking! I love the colors! Gorgeous!
This is just gorgeous Julia! I love the look stamped on vellum and then colored with the Gelly Roll pens. I think that you may have put a run on ordering that Penny Black stamp too! I just love how delicate it looks.
