A Sparkly Easter

Welcome back to the Penny Black Blog! This week we’ll be featuring Easter Cards from each of our Designers. You’ll notice something in common with the cards you see this week — they all contain glittery, shimmery goodness! Here’s my Easter Card using one of our new Slapstick Stamps, “Pansy Bunny“;

I stamped the image onto the white side of Penny Black’s Mix & Match cardstock and colored it with Copic Markers. I added glitter with a fine-tipped glue pen to certain areas for some sparkle.  When I was adding glitter, I added one color at a time, allowed it to dry, then added the next color. The glitter catches the light and brings the image to life!

To create the background, I stamped just the top portion of the pot’s flowers over and over again in moss green, then filled-in the flowers with a muted pink marker. I used the same technique to add glitter, using a glue pen.
