Lovey-dovey and Happy Birthday from Heather

January 9, 2013

For the next several days, we’ll be featuring projects created with the most recent Penny Black Valentine release – with just a little twist. Our designers will show you a “lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time” project, and another project they’ve made for something else, like birthday or just because (not that those can’t be Lovey-Dovey, too!). Let’s see how versatile our new release can be. . .

Penny Black designer Heather Telford’s creations are always beautiful and quite striking, and this lovey-dovey card made with Butterfly Symphony (30-148) is no exception. We love the combination of technique and simply stamped images:

Here, Butterfly Symphony (30-148) was water stamped onto sponged background.

We loved reading which of you liked Elizabeth’s pieces you liked and why, and are curious – do you prefer simple stamping (stamp, cut, add some ribbon), or are y0u more of a technique lover?

Thanks for stopping by today - if you’re looking for more inspiration, please visit our gallery on Flickr and at Splitcoaststampers. You can also find us on Facebook, and on Twitter, too! See you again soon, Jenn

    I LOVE this stampset! Pitty I can not find it in South Africa! I’ve been following your blog for a while now and find it so inspirational along with the Snippets blog! Blessings!

    I love seeing cards with new (or old, refreshed) techniques. But I love simple cards too! These cards are gorgeous!

    Very interesting to see the different interpretations of the one stamp. I love the idea of stamping with water to take away colour so shall have a go at that in due course.

    I think I like simple stamping the most (just because of time constraints), but love learning new techniques too!

    I LOVE to use techniques, but only if it does not detract from the focal image!
