Effortless Elegance: Cathy

Our elegant stamps and Creative Dies are a great match for so many styles.  Join our designers this week as they stretch their creative boundaries and create one layer cards! We’d love to see your one layer cards, too!  Upload your Penny Black creations to our Penny Circle Flickr Gallery and/or our Facebook page.

Cathy takes elegant to the next level today with this one-layer masterpiece…

Ready to create this look yourself?
Here’s how:

1) Mask off a rectangle in the center of the card. Add Memento Inks to an acrylic block, spritz with water and add colors randomly to paper to create background.

2) Ink Poppy Parade with Rhubarb Stalk and Bamboo Leaves markers spritz with water stamp and color using pens adding water to blend and spread design.

3) When dry re-ink stamp with markers again and stamp onto project without adding water (this will give flower definition). Stamp sentiment from Kind Words set using Versafine ink, highlight the centres of the flowers with the IrRESISTible Pico embellisher, flick walnut ink over design to age and then remove masking tape to reveal finished card.
