Penny Black - Smile

Hello Blog Friends, I have a bright and cheerful card for you today - as our temperatures drop in the Southern Hemisphere, I thought it would be nice to remember the warm summer days in the garden.




I have used the Penny Black Inc - kisses in the sun image.  This has been stamped onto white card  using IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® VersaFine™ Archival Pigment Ink in Onyx Black and cut out using the Spellbinders® Grand Calibur® Machine and the Labels Twenty-Nine Spellbinders® Nestabilities®.




A second image has been stamped and the butterfly cut out by hand, then coloured using
IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Radiant Neons in Electric Yellow, Electric Pink and Electric Coral.  The remaining image has been coloured using IMAGINE Crafts®/Tsukineko® Memento™ Dye Ink.




The sentiment is from the edge to edge transparent set by Penny Black Inc and has been popped up on I have used Scrapbook by Adhesives by 3L- 3D Foam Squares.  The background paper is from Authentique Paper and the bling from Want2Scrap©
