Bright and Fun, Day 2

Penny Black has a new challenge for the next couple of weeks, so in the spirit of summer stamping to help Beat the Heat I figured I'd share a few bright and fun cards this week!
Tweet, tweet! Today's cards have a couple of birds for ya...

To create this card I stamped Penny Black 40-195 Sweet Melody in VersaFine Onyx Black Ink, embossed with clear powder and colored with Copic Markers.  The background was created by first lightly inking white cardstock with Palette Ink in the color Claret.  I then stamped onto this inked background using the same color of ink and Penny Black 40-208 Sweetness.  The script and sentiment are from Penny Black 30-0163 Love Chapter.

This next card features the emboss resist technique along with tone on tone stamping using Penny Black 40-197 Facebook Friends.  And the background, Penny Black 40-202 Indian Wheel, was stamped in VersaMagic Wheat Ink. (Loveeee that ink for a soft background!)

Thanks for visiting-- see ya tomorrow with lots of floral cards!
