Good Morning, I hope everyone is OK.
I had a bit of a crafty play at the weekend as lucky me had some of Ruth's latest artwork to play with which you will find at A Passion for Stamps as well as some still un-inked Penny Black stamps.
To create the top card I masked the edges of a piece of Fabriano watercolour card and gently inked with TH broken china, I then tore a piece of copy paper to mask the top right section of the piece and stamped the the section with Hero Arts S5264 Antique Flower Background using TH tea dye. Next I sponged both colours of ink randomly over the stamping and finally stamped Penny Black 4237K Awakening using TH stormy sky and Aquamarkers and spritzed with water before stamping................every time there's a new release of stamps you tend to have a favourite and this one is definitely one of those. After removing the masking I mounted the piece onto coordinating cardstock and added a button.
My second card using Ruth's Fratillary image which I printed onto Fabriano watercolour card and did my usual mad rush to get some clear embossing powder on as it came through the printer, then coloured with Derwent watercolur pencils. The sentiment is Penny Black 4261L Time. The background was created using a Touch of Mica mask which I inked with versamark, rand through the Big Shot then dusted a lilac cosmic shimmer powder over the inked sections...................I am quite pleased with the effect and especially how well the colours match which was more buy luck than judgement as I only have a few mica powders.
Thanks for popping in, catch you later in the week.

Both gorgeous Brenda. I love that first image and the colours you've used. But I also love the second image and the colours there too. I really wouldn't know which one to choose!

I love the sentiment in your second card with those mauves which do indeed blend beautifully. However it is the first which is my favourite. That little tag with the button & ribbon is a lovely touch & I was fascinated by your background technique & the layering effect of the main image stamped over it.

This is another beautiful card using the Penny Black Awakening stamp Brenda. Having seen your two beautiful cards using it I couldn't resist and have gone and ordered it for myself. Hope I can use techniques to show it off as well as you have. Thanks for the inspiration.
