That's the challenge over at Penny Black Saturday challenge this week. I pulled out an older Penny Black clear set called "Enjoy Life" and used the birds to do a blue monochromatic card
I stamped the birds in Stone Wash shadow ink from Hero Arts. I used an aqua pen to use the Stone Wash ink and Soft Pool ink to add a bit of colour. Finished with some dots of Stickles. The sentiment by Hastings Rubber Stamps is stamped in the Stone Wash ink. I cut out the image with a Spellbinders Floral Oval die and while I still had the image in the die, I sponged with some Soft Pool ink. I'm loving this new Spellbinders die. It is so pretty. The card base is a very dark blue that has a bit of texture on it. And I added a white satin ribbon and big bow.
And here is a little pic of my work in progress for my Shabby Chic card.
The flower dried beautifully overnight and is looking good.
Hopefully later this evening I will get it finished ~ after watching
Masterchef NZ.
Thanks for peeking into my world today... take care
