On my first card I stamped Penny Black 4152K Peppermint Polly and colored her using Copic Markers. I then added Flower Soft to her scarf. Don't we all need a warm fuzzy scarf this time of year? :)
Supplies: Peppermint Polly (Penny Black), Flower Soft (UltraFine Ocean), Copic Markers, Spellbinders Nestabilities Deckled Edge Die, Embossing Folder (Sizzix), Distress Ink (Wild Honey, Faded Jeans, Broken China, Gathered Twigs), Sentiment (SRM Stickers), VersaFine Black Ink, Clear Embossing Powder, Cardstock (Neenah Tiara White, Copic X-Press It Blending Cardstock)
And since I was having so much fun, I just had to make one more card...
Ultrafine Sage Flower Soft works great for adding grass to this Victorian House image by Penny Black:
Supplies: 40-091 Victorian Homes (Penny Black), Flower Soft (Ultrafine Sage), Copic Markers, Distress Ink (Old Paper, Gathered Twigs, Forest Moss), Hemp Cord (Darice), Sentiment (SRM Stickers), VersaFine Black Ink, Clear Embossing Powder, Cardstock (Neenah Tiara White, Copic X-Press It Blending Cardstock)

Just love Polly and that Victorian House.....love the FS on Polly's scarf, a nice touch as well as the grass on the VH. Love how you used the half round shapes....awesome.
ReplyDeletethe flower Soft really makes her scarf look like one of those "funky" knitted ones so many people wear but your little scene with the grass & the house just took my breath away. I'd been thinking about grass & Flower Soft but not really thought through the application. Love thew ay the little gem echoes the blue of the door & windowcills - lovely touch.
