 Exuberance 

(SSS, 123 Stitch,Penny Black)

Well this actually turned out as I envisioned! 

I took this little stamp and stamped it on each corner of my paper and then added a few little "fill in" stamps to finish it off. I embossed with Hero Arts white embossing powder. 

I used my little cheapo Prang watercolors and Bristol Smooth watercolor paper again. They worked out pretty good. Very easy but it did take some time because of all the details.

Birdhouse Berries

I am not a "professional embosser" 😁...I get powder all over the place and make a mess. That's just me I guess. I am still trying though. 

For my cards today I used this beautiful winter stamp. I embossed one with black and one with gold and did some simple watercoloring.

I did a little watercoloring with a fun little Prang watercolor set I got just for the fun of it several years ago and never used.  Time to use my stuff!

The Noel sentiment is from Holly Circle and the hello is from an old Technique Tuesday stamp set.

A Day at the Beach

I love these old fashioned Penny Black stamps! This is a cling stamp with a sweet nostalgic feel.  

I colored the image with copics and then cut out the ocean frame with my Silhouette, resizing it to 4.25 x 5.5 or A2 size. The sentiment is heat embossed. Very easy and oh so cute!!

I adore this stamp. It's perfect for summer fun and summer birthdays!

My Sweet

I used this Slimline Zig Zag die from Penny Black and did some light stenciling with a Picket Fence Lots of Blossoms slimline stencil. I forgot to run the stitching part of the die through, so pretend its there so it fits in to the challenge theme. Drats!

I have had this yummy stamp set for a bit and have really wanted to color it up! I stamped two sets of the little treats and then cut them out with my Scan N Cut. I glued some treats on and added some on with dimensionals all willy nilly. Turned out lovely I think! The sentiment was included with the set and was embossed and added to the card. I added the image on a pretty coral card base to finish it off. Ta-dah!

 Sugar Plum Fairy

This cute little fairy stole my heart! Although it says it's a sugar plum, I'm  thinking more like an apple, cherry  or even a tomato! It is the season! This stamp can certainly do double duty as a summer or Christmas stamp!

I colored this little fairy with copics and cut out with a stitched square die.  The sentiment is from the Penny Black mini Transparent set Song of Peace.

Easter March 3112J

I dug out another vintage but timeless Penny Black stamp! 

I colored the image and then cut it out with my Scan N Cut. I used some pretty Echo Park/Lori Whitlock paper(Our Little Princess) cut with Lawn Fawn dies(rectangle, circle and grass). I also used the Lawn Fawn cloudy stencil for the sky background. I added the Simon Says Easter sentiment strip on with dimension strips as well as adding the hedgie and eggie with dimensionals.

I thought these chickens were perfect for a cute little  On The Farm theme. I colored them with copics and used my Scan N Cut to cut out the image.

I cut the barn scene with my Silhouette, adding the clouds with a stencil before assembling the scene and added the little chicken parade on with pop dots. I finished if off with several Hero Arts sentiments.

Wow, a lot of my Penny Black goodies got used on this card! I just dug it all out and went with it lol!

I cut a frame out of two Stitches of Love stacker dies. I added a light pink embossed panel behind the frame and then tucked in a copic colored heart tree, added my little hedgie on the card with an action wobbler, and then stamped the sentiment from the transparent sentiment set Only You.
