Morning to you all, time for new challenges at Penny Black and More and Stamping Sensations where we have the themes of a sketch with the option of Autumnal colours and 'Poppy Inspired'.
I used an old favourite Penny Black image for my card above inking the stamp with distress markers then adding some random script around the edges.......I find if you use an unmounted stamp for this and just hold it in your hands to ink and bend as you stamp you can get background where you want it without the need to mask the image. The DP's are sold old ones which I think are Bo Bunny and the panel is cut from some recycled corrugated.

My poppy piece uses another favourite Penny Black image which I coloured with Pan Pastels, again adding some random text to the background in the same way as the card above, a Penny Black sentiment and ribbons.
Apologies my post is a bit short and sweet and my comments similar but the body's on go slow again and typing difficult.

ReplyDeleteThose autumnal colours are a delight & I love the way you fastened those leave. The way your patterend paper is echoed in the stamped image is a wonder & I love your added script - so so effective. What can I say about the second - delightful & such a lovely sentiment. I love the way you have script again on that & the soft background.

Beautiful cards Brenda, they're so gorgeous... I love the autumnal colours on the first one! Perfect!
ReplyDeleteYou're a floral image expert, I wonder would you be able to help me?! I'm looking for a nice forget-me-not stamp for a special request project from a customer who has had a kidney transplant, the symbol of the Irish Kidney Association is the forget-me-not, and he wants the card to feature some...do you have any ideas of where I could find anything decent?
Hope you're having a lovely weekend!
