Fun Friday Collabo with Darlene

All throughout the month of May, on Fridays, Darlene and I collaborated using the same stamp to create each of our projects.  You can find all of the posts here:

WEEK 1

WEEK 2

WEEK 3

WEEK 4

WEEK 5

Today we are super excited to feature a couple of uber -alented gals that played along!  I'm honored to share two cards by Larissa Heskett using Penny Black's T for Transparent Set Sweet Home.

On this first card, I love how Larissa layered vellum over her black and white stamping.  And with just one house colored, it really pops!  Her watercoloring is so bright and fun.

And I was totally blown away by this next card of Larissa's.

Here's the front:

And the inside:

The paper piecing Larissa did to create this scene is adorable!

Thanks so much for playing along, Larissa. I'm totally honored to share your work here!  

Now be sure to hop on over to Darlene's blog to see who she is featuring today. 

Have a great weekend, my stamping friends!

Penny Black New Edition: Mummu's Roses

Sometimes I am just in the mood to break out my Copics and color, color, color.  Whenever I am, I love to reach for Penny Black stamps illustrated by Mo Manning like today's new stamp, 40-231 Mummu's Roses.

I also used the script from 30-163 Love Chapter and the sentiment from 30-160 Friendship. The circle die cuts are by Spellbinders.

Thanks for popping by!

Penny Black New Edition: Ornately Framed

I had sooo much fun making this card!  I began by stamping Penny Black 40-240 Ornately Framed onto white cardstock using Memento Expresso Truffle Ink.  I then added lots of layers of Gesso and Distress Paints (Antique Linen, Picket Fence, and Wild Honey) as well as some stamping with 1999L Letter Background using Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink. 

To finish things off, I stamped 4237K Awakening, after inking it first with Distress Paints (Wild Honey, Peeled Paint, Picked Raspberries, and Seedless Preserves).

Hugs and Happy Stamping!

Penny Black New Edition: Lace Trims

Today's card was made using Penny Black 30-181 Lace Trims.  I began by stamping the trims using Palette Ink.  Next, I colored over them using Pan Pastels in coordinating colors. 

The Petaloo flower was colored with Luminarte Radiant Rain Shimmering Mist and the leaves were die cut using Spellbinders Foliage and the colored with Bundled Sage Distress Paint.  Sentiment by Penny Black, 30-160 Friendship.

Have a great day, my stamping friends!

For my card I stamped Penny Black 40-238 Floral Applique and colored it with Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Art Grip Color Pencils and then added just a touch of grey for dimension using Copic markers C1 and C3.

I adhered several small pieces of Penny Black Mix and Match cardstock to create the rainbow strip and then added bit of Distress Paint onto the edges.
