This post is long overdue, I’ve had one of these cards done weeks ago but the time has been eluding me. The other one I made just last night - I had an urge to colour one of those delightful Mo Manning girls that Penny Black carries. Oh my gosh, they’re precious <3

The first card is a trendy (I hope!) collage with a mix of elements from different Penny Black stamp sets. The focal point is a sentiment from the beautiful chalkboard-inspired cling set, Truly Great. I stamped the sentiment on a PTI tag which I first covered with Distress Inks (Wild Honey & Scattered Straw) and flicked some water over to create texture. I added a small glittered heart die cut to the bottom of the sentiment.

On the card base I first stamped the foliage from Wonderous cling stamp, and then filled the gaps with the tiny feathers from Kind Words. Then I gathered together the tag and a glittered pocket page from Me & My Big Ideas, using a mini clothespin and added a deep green twine bow. Satin Mint sequins finish the card.

For the next card, I coloured with Copic markers the girl from Penny Black April stamp. I cut it out and popped up on top of the layer of vellum, on which I white embossed the Bed Of Roses stamp. I also added the sentiment from the Friendship set, which I found quite fitting

Here are the Copics used:
watering can: Y21/23/26/28
head scarf & skirt: V20/22/25/28, RV19
shirt & stockings: RV11/14/17/19, C1/C3
