New Penny Black Slapstick Cling

All this week on the Penny Black blog, you will find introductions of the newest stamps from the Take Flight 2013 catalog. In addition to introductions, Penny Black is also giving away LOTS of stamps! I'm playing along with the introductions as well. :) While Penny Black is introducing slapstick cling stamps today, here's a card I created with a new cling stamp, 40-208 Sweetness:

To begin, I inked my background stamp with Palette Inks (claret, Orangerie, and Sunflower) and lightly spritzed with water before stamping. Once the stamped image was dry, I added additional shading with Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Art Grip Color Pencils and distressed the edges with Walnut Stain Distress Ink. The sentiment, 30-160 Friendship, was stamped with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink and then lightly distressed with Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink. Finally, I die cut a butterfly with Spellbinders Butterflies Two die, cut it in half, and adhered behind the sentiment. I added just a touch of shading to the flowers using Copic marker BG10.

Thanks again for your visits and support!

Don't forget to check out the Penny Black blog for even more giveaways today. :)
Oh, and I nearly forgot, but here's the winner of the Ribbons Unlimited ribbon giveaway--Dawn Turley. Thanks to all who left the sweetest comments and followed the Ribbons Unlimited blog!

NEW Penny Black wood-mounted

All this week on the Penny Black blog, you will find introductions of the newest stamps from the Take Flight 2013 catalog. In addition to introductions, Penny Black is also giving away LOTS of stamps! I decided I wanted to play along with the introductions as well. :) While Penny Black is introducing wood mounted stamps today, here's a card I created with a new wood-mounted stamp, 4306L Kisses in the Sun.

I began by stamping 4306L Kisses in the sun with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the flower and the script background with Copic markers. For a second time, I stamped 4306L Kisses in the Sun, colored the butterfly image, and cut it out. The light blue sky background was inked with Distress Ink (Faded Jeans, Broken China, and Dusty Concord). I added the butterfly using pop dots. Finally, I stamped the sentiment, 30-162 Eloquence, using VersaFine Onyx Black Ink.

Thanks for visiting!

Be sure to pop by the Penny Black blog for a chance to win some of the new stamps.
