Penny Black - With Sympathy

Hello friends, it is Monday here in the Southern Hemisphere and I am happy to say it has been a productive day for me.  One of the things I did manage to achieve was creating this Sympathy Card - not that I need one, but they are always good to have on hand and are not always the easiest to create when you do need them.


I have used the beautiful Penny Black Inc Bed of Roses stamp, using Imagine Memento Ink ink Tuxedo Black onto white card stock.  I have also stamped a part of the image separately to be layered into the card a little later.  The image has been coloured using Chameleon Pens - don't you just love the range of colours using just two pens!!

The coloured image has been cut/embossed using the A2 Curved Matting Basics B Card Creator Etched Dies #6 (#1 being the smallest).  This has been layered into a pre-cut card base using A2 Curved Matting Basics B Card Creator Etched Dies #7 - remember to keep the fold inside the cutting edge to form the card base; using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares


The extra portion of the image has been coloured using Chameleon Pens and cut using the Nestabilities Standard Circles SM Etched Dies #2 and layered onto a layer Nestabilities Standard Circles SM Etched Dies (#3) using double sided tape. Line this up with the stamped image on the card front and adhere using double sided tape.  Adhere a computer generated sentiment ot the lower left hand corner.

This card is linked to the following challenges:

  1. What a fab card, don't you just love those Chameleons.... If you haven't already snagged a set you really should check out the new color Tops. Tip to Tip blending was never this easy... absolutely love mine. Check out the blog if you aren't sure what I am referring to..if you love your Chameleons you are going to LOVE the color tops that go with them.

  2. It really is great Linda to see so much lovely stamping on a card. There is a great warmth to this card due to the colour palette that you've used and I really like the way that you've highlighted one of the flowers, it looks really effective. Thank you for sharing it with us at Stamping Sensations and good luck. Sandra x
