Penny Black

Hope you enjoyed your holiday weekend.  I sure needed that extra day to get some big household projects done.  And it was nice to have an extra day to relax after completing those projects.   I did not get a lot of crafting done but I did make one cute little card.

Penny Black has been one of my favorite designers.  Her little critters are adorable.  But with that being said, I only own a couple of her stamps.  Mostly, because they don't sell the "cute" ones at the stamping store that is in my neighborhood.  That is how the owner responded my request.  Needless to say.... to don't shop that store often.

With my recent trip to Arizona, I stopped in to a wonderful stamping store in Scottsdale and picked up this stamp to add to my collection.   I used my new Tim Holtz Distress markers to color in the image.  I like to put some of the ink on a block and then use my water brush to color in the image.  It give a wonderful watercolor effect.  I have just started using these markers, so I have a lot to learn.    I found the sentiment in one of my Lawn Fawn stamp sets.  I wanted the image to be the focal point of the card and not have the sentiment take away from the image.

Thanks for visiting.
