I have been absent for a few days, only to flood you with two posts on one day… happens to the best, eh? If it’s your first visit to my blog today, how about you check out some more of my Holiday cards, here! Right now I’m serving you a slightly delayed Countdown to Christmas with Penny Black post, enjoy!

My aim is to share a new Christmas card made with Penny Black stamps each week. I combined the images from different sets, on this one layer card: Christmas Banners (banners, of course), Merry & Happy (a single ornament) and Yuletide Greetings from which I took the sentiment. I started by lightly drawing the curved lines with a pencil (I used an edge of a large plate), then I stamped the banners and ornament with Memento Luxe inks and used a Memento marker to draw a line in between the banners, right on top of the pencil line.

I created the sentiment by curving it on a large acrylic block. Make sure it always sticks to it firmly, before stamping - I had a whoopsie! For a finishing touch, I added a few dots, stamped with white ink, to create a subtle bokeh effect, and I tied a bow with glittery twine over the ornament. I was aiming for a stationery look, I hope I was able to achieve it.
Next week is where this feature comes to an end! Boy, did the time go by quickly…
