Combination of black & white. I also like pastel & ombre color schemes
I’ve been doing bright colors for Easter cards right now – teal, bright pink, orange, and yellow.
Scenic is one of my favorites to make
It usually depends on to whom the card is going to. If it’s a mother’s day card, the it would have pastel color scheme (pinks, blues or greens). For a birthday card I use more bright colors. For christmas I stick to the traditional colors that are also bright or natural.
My favorites are your winter scenes which always remind me of the holidays and my childhood!

My prayers are with you! I can only imagine the anxiety of being in NY. Stay safe and together we will get through this.
There is nothing like a Penny Black Brushstroke flower simply framed with a beautiful message. I appreciate the Positively Penny Black videos during these dark and worrisome times.

I seem to going through a phase where the softer shades of pink and green are my favorites, However, that could change anytime, depending on my mood.
I usually like using bold colors on my cards. One of my favorite color combos is red and aqua/turquoise.
I did subscribe to your utube !
I love navy and pink, and all kinds of bright colors. We need to smile!
I love light blues and reds or pinks together!. Or lavenders and purple with green. Or any color with black! I think I love them all, which may explain why I have an overload of paper and card stock. Thanks for a chance to win.

I love to make cards for any occasion but especially Christmas cards . My favorite stamps are scenic ones and PB scenes are beautiful .
Since it’s Spring, my favorite colors are Spring Green and Yellow with maybe a hint of Lavender.
Though I love scenic cards, I am not very good at making them. Most of my cards are “thinking of you” as they can be used for any occasion.
I love making card, my favorite are the penny black florals
I love florals and I seem to gravitate to pinks and yellows.
My favorite color scheme is pinks, purples, yellows and greens for coloring flowers and foliage
Blues, greens & purples are my usual go to colors. I also love monochrome browns or blacks.
My favorite backgrounds for my scenic cards starts with greens at the bottom for grass tones and then work up to yellow/orange/purple/red for either a sunset or sunrise and then blending in blues at the top for sky tones
Most of my stamps are floral and my favourite colours are pinks, reds and yellows. 🙂
I love a purple scheme. With a bit of gold. I think purple is difficult to use in a card because of its connotation with sympathy cards. But I love to use is on the flowers.
Really appreciate looking at all the cards and new stamps and dies that you have.
My favorite colors right now are the Neon’s popping up all over.
My favorite colors scheme is a spring green, light sky blue, sunshine yellow and a soft pink. I use this for scenes, flowers and everything else!
I lean towards pastel colors!
I love rainbow with pink instead of red.
Hard to pick just one as like so many, but scenic is one of mine. And purples with other colors is a favorite color.
I am appreciating the extra videos. Jill, Mimi, and Birgit provide so much inspiration for the style that I like.
I love all kinds of color schemes, including grungy and distressed, but also rainbows and florals. Thanks for such a generous giveaway.
I’m always attracted to anything rainbow!

Monochromatic deep colors especially burgundy are my favorites.
I love anything colorful, as well as pastels. But once in awhile, I like to do black images on white with a pop of color. And also, black ink on kraft with images highlighted with white colored pencil. Makes for simple, easy cards but very striking! Thanks for your generosity in this giveaway during these crazy times! God bless
I have been following your positive posts lately and have enjoyed them. Now you’ve went even further! So So sweet of you!

My most favorite colours are in the blue-green colour spectrum.
But I like the Oriental colours like red, gold, black and white toooo.
I love pastel color themes during this time of the year. Normally my color scheme matches the season for which i am creating the card for. I love your stamps!
I love working with pastel colors. I have fallen in love with your scenic stamps, they are the best!!! I have had extra time since we are under a “stay home” order, and I have been working with a couple of your no line watercolor stamps too! Thank you for all your wonderful products.
Wow what a great giveaway. I’d like pink and red colors most of all. Sometimes CAS and somethimes vintage…

Thank you for a chance at winning this awesome prize! What a great way to lift someone’s spirits! My favorite colors to work with are Pink and Green, they just are so bright and cheery together!
I love mixing colours up but I must say blues are my favourite. Starting with a light blue and building up so you have an intense blue around the edge of your card. Take care and be safe.
If I do a scenic card, I like to use blue colors, green for the grass and if I do a sunset card yellow.
I love love all your amazing florals!
XxIrene
Thank you for the lovely giveaway. Currently I am enjoying being in my creative space working with floral schemes during these turbulent times. Creating is therapy for me and its wonderful to send these cards to someone to brighten their day. Loving the spring colors.
I love the yellows, blues and the greens combos. Yellow has been my favorite color since I was a child, and always make me perk up and smile!
I love blues and greens, more so the bright and vivid shades. Ironically, blue is not my favorite color at all but when you pair it with green(my favorite color) it takes on a new life. I do a lot of ink smooshing and when you get into mixing all those different colors together you quickly learn about what looks good together!
Thank you. I love to make Birthday cards and Christmas cards!
I love to use purple and green with just a splash of yellow or orange. As I mostly make floral cards this works perfectly. When I need to change things up I love a strong black and white card with one pop of color – like red. Thanks for all your wonderful products and ideas.
I love blues, especially with just white and black.
I love pinks, purples and blues. I love the ink blending technique with these colors.
Since purple is my favorite color, I make a lot of cards using that color. There are so many different shades to choose from. I also would use yellow, pink or light blue or green with many of my purple cards. Thank you Penny Black!
Colorful cards make me happy so I usually use a combination of bright colors. I guess rainbow is my favorite color scheme!
I have always been drawn to navy blue and yellow. I find myself hovering over colors that I know the recipient will love – their favorites. The exception is sympathy cards. I tend to go for soft and soothing colors (soft gray, cream, light blue or green) in honor of the occasion. Rubber hugs to all and be safe.
My favorite color is blue so I try to incorporate it whenever I can. Just discovered
Lostinpaper- Theresa Calvird’s youtube channel love her blue florals!
Lately my favorite combination has been bright yellow and red or dark bright pink. They are so cheerful and we can use that cheerfulness at this time.
I tend towards the cool colors of lavender, aqua/blues and pastel greens.
I really like the combination of a red-orange and blue.
My favorite cards are Christmas so my favorite colors to use are the old tradtional colors…. reds greens and whites……. all shades
I love to watercolor but my favorite is doing anything involving lots of greens,blues and purples
The color I use the most is blue. From there the color scheme depends on what the main focus of the cards. If it’s outdoors it tends to be blue & brown (nature), if it’s little girls it tends to be blue & pink sometimes orange. If it’s floral I lean toward blue, pink, yellow.
My go to color is navy blue. It goes well with countless colors, like greens, grays, teals etc…..
I’ve always loved red, white and black together. It makes for a very pretty color combo. Lately I have liked using aqua and navy together too. Thank you for your generous giveaway! Stay home and in your “safe room” (alias craft room). 😉
Fall colors….earth tones are my favorites..the change of seasons in nature is beautiful!
The color scheme really depends on the card I am making, but I tend to gravitate mostly to soft pastel colors.
My favorite colors are aquas and blues. But it depends on what the stamp is too.
I am currently enjoying monochromatic color cards. in not so typical choices, rust. orange, greens, purples. Bold statements, simple designs. be safe everyone.

I love all color schemes (depending on my mood) but find black and white cards extremely stunning and elegant and usually very simplified.

I’m a “blue” person – blues, turquoises, etc.
I love the watercolor look, especially blues.
My favorite times of the year are fall and winter, so generally my color schemes reflect that. Blues, grays and some green for winter; reds, yellows, blues, purples, oranges and browns for fall.
I love floral cards the most..I like to use shades of teal and lavender and pale greens
I like using purple,
pink and light blue
together.

It is very seasonal with me but like pinky red
I’m loving coral right now, I like to use a plum color with like a pinky/orange with it.
I tend to go with blues and greens a great deal but I don’t think I really have a favorite color scheme. It usually depends on the type of card I am making. Right now I love my tulip stamps and other spring florals. Thanks
birthday cards
My favorite color schemes are turquoises and browns. Turquoise has always been my favorite but when paired with a dark, chocolate brown it just sets it off!
There are so many pretty shades of blue. I most often use blue in my cards. I also like the apple greens or yellow green shades. I tend to decorate with those colors as well. God made the sky blue and the grass green, so that’s good enough for me.
I love all colors and enjoy working with them all but I seem to make a lot of blue,tan and rose colored cards . They work well together and seem to be calming to me.
Neutrals and pastels.

I’m partial to reds, blues, and purples or any merging of the three. Of course, there’s always sunset and sunrise colors too.

I have to confess I’m color challenged. Tend to get color ideas from Pinterest/Google/etc. If I like it I go with it if I have similar in my ‘stash’.

Right now my favorite color scheme is soft pastels. Working on Easter cards now and will move onto to florals and brighter colors for Mother’s Day.

It is so hard to choose a favorite color scheme but I do find myself incorporating a lot of greens and blues.
I love anything in turquoise with lime green!
As long as I have some pink/rose/coral to start with, I’m good to go. I choose from soft greens, whites and off-whites, turquoise, burgundies cherries, or whatever hits my fancy and looks good at the time. And it goes on from there! 🙂
Pinks and greens are my favorite color combos.
I’m a sucker for anything blue. Lately, with the arrival of spring, I’ve found myself tending to do cards in pastel tones.
I love blues and yellows.
I love bright colors, right now i’m using turquoise, pale pink, spring green and pale yellow. The colors of Spring!
I think my favorite is black and white. But I always think about the person I am giving the card to. So maybe all colors. Thank you.
Love to use teal when I can. Also really like using kraft as background and neutral tones with it.
Gorgeous card! One of my fave palettes is purple and green, thanks for the chance.
I love bright colors. Right now it’s turquoise, pale pink, spring green and pale yellow. The colors of Spring!
I change my colour schemes from week to week, depending on what kind of card I’m making. I’ve just made some scenery cards with blues, greens and browns, with a splash of yellow.
My favorite color scheme is lavender and green.
I like using teals/blues with purples or pinks. O tend to use those the most but try to do other colors to mixed it up some.
What a fun and generous way to brighten spirits! My favorite color combo is a soft green and blue.
I love so many color schemes its hard to pick just one. I really like black white and red with small amount of green accent .
I love earthtones, and shades of blue.
I love making and sending thinking of you cards, in these days when folks are feeling isolated, it’s important for them to know someone is thinking of them today, and it brightens my days to do it!
Love the color scheme…pink and black. PB designs are BEST!
My favorite colors are anything Happy, but I love red and white and red and black!
Love any colours you can use on Foliage, blue-greys-greens-orange-reds-yellows, just about all the colours of the rainbow really.
I love pastels and flowers. I am following on Instagram and Facebook.
Dion’t know how to leave a comment on Instagram. No matter. I love your stamps and the design team/guest artists make them look even more beautiful.
Hi Guys thank you for your lovely stamps
How kind of you to offer such generous prizes! I tend to use pretty girly color combinations, my fave being orange and pink. Throw a little yellow in there too! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
I love blues and greens together. Right now though I feel like the brighter and more colorful I make a card, the happier it makes me.
I would say my favourite style/colour is “eclectic”😊 I never know how it’s going to turn out until I start creating. Please keep the videos coming, they are what are keeping us all going through these trying times, and thanks for the opportunity to win💖
That would be purple and green, they are my favorite colors, but I love using every color.
My favorite color is blue so I use many shades of blue. Thanks for all your great products and the wonderful inspiration!
My favorite are blues and purples, but I love all color. Sometimes I just need to stretch my color palette.
Aloha everyone! My favs are blues blending into pinks, bringing different shades of violet, periwinkle and lavender. Take very good care. Mahalo for your generous giveaways 💜💌
I love greens, purples and blues. Thanks for the chance
I love color! But one theme enjoyed most would have to involve purples as it’s found in many favorite places, like flowers and scenery. Thanks for such awesome ideas and stamps!
Love the color spectrum of flowers, so beautiful and vibrant.
I love jewel tones. They stand out.
I love pink and brown cards
My color scheme seems to usually end up my favorite colors – purple, lime green, hot pink, turquoise
Brown, blue and white or ivory.
Thank you for a chance to win. That is an awesome prize. I kinda wish I had IG and Facebook.
I love corals and oranges used especially for flowers and light coral shadow in background
I use paint chip samples with color combinations for project inspirations. They are easily found at hardware stores or the paint section of local stores. Hole punch a corner of the color card sample and load them on a ring, chain or cording for easy access. It’s a great tool for following color trends or looking for a different color combo.
Bright colors, no matter what the season is!
I love mixing and matching colors and I am always trying to figure out how to use the color wheel for help in this area. I do love to use turquoise and lavender together, though!
I love your products, and all the inspiration that comes with it. I love the pinks and light blue. Both with silver. Maybe even a monochromatic scenes. With such hard times right now, a giveaway is fabulous.
I like blues, greens, pinks and purples. They are my go to Colors.
I love warm colours! They are my go to range. I also like to add splatters of black, gold, silver, white to add something. I love creating my own back grounds with water colour paints or colour bursts etc. I have not yet tried alcohol ink back grounds, on my bucket list and of course warm colours 🙂
I tend to prefer pastels. Especially pinks. I’m trying hard to use more colors especially brighter colors.
I love apricot with turquoise, in a botanical-on-geometric theme.
I love at the beach – I love teals and greens with a little lavender thrown in!!
I meant ‘live’…long day!
Currently working with green and pinks, that may be my most common combo. But if I know someone’s favorite color I will use that.
I try to use a lot of variety in my cards, but I always find myself going back to turquoise shades – sometimes with pink accents – sometimes with several shades of turquoise.
Favorite color scheme would be gray and light pink/coral with some splashes of white and/or black.
My color scheme leans towards greens and blues. I do like to create striking B/W cards as well.
My go to colour trilogy is the Adirondack colours of Lettuce, Cranberry and Butterscotch. Thanks PB for doing this giveaway and spreading the inspiration. Stay safe.
I’m so impressed with the coloring technique I see using the Penny Black stamps. And intimidated, slightly. The artists are so talented.
I really like bright colors for birthday cards. But I also love teals and purples for other cards. It is wonderful seeing the work that comes from your rubber stamps. They are so unique!
The card is gorgeous. I don’t have a go to color scheme however, I always love a rainbow backgroud or blue cloudy skies 🙂
My favorite color combo is purple and orange. I know weird.
This is so much fun. I like thinking about what I like to do most in card making. I am so very fond of the yellow through red spectrum with a little purple thrown in – my favs for sunrise and sunset backgrounds. I’d like to try your moonlit blues, they are beautiful and peaceful.
I love using turquoises and aquas with some coral or hot pink for contrast.
I love pink with green and/or turquoise.
love the card!!
I really like CAS style cards that have some drama. Black, white and one other color is a nice way to make those kinds of cards. Thanks for a chance to win your incredibly generous prize.

I love shades of pink and green–pastel in the spring, deepening to a richer shade for summer, evergreen and cranberry in the winter.

I am so grateful for not only my own health but that of my family and friends. Rather than look at the negative impacts of this “situation” I am finding more time to enjoy my own home; using my built up stash (I see a shopping spree in my future!); completing projects that have been on the back burner way too long; reaching out to help my neighbors in any way I can and thanking God for video chats! I am grateful that my new Craft room was finished two weeks before the Governor issued the stay at home order! How I do love my craft room! For everyone out there reading this post….I hope you are safe and healthy and I wish you JOY every single day!

Thank you Penny Black for continuing to inspire and uplift, and for the chance to win a giveaway. I’ve been using Penny Black stamps for years and years , and often drove by your unassuming headquarters in Berkeley back when I worked on Ashby and San Pablo. Craftng has always been a part of my life and I love using most colors, depending on the design and my mood. However, one favorite is red, white and black.
I love Penny Black stamps. I think your stamps and videos encouraged me to learn to watercolor. My favorite color combos are pinks, yellows and oranges together, but I’m also partial to shades of blue. I love color-it’s so hard to choose a favorite! Thank you for all the inspiration over these last several years.
Such a fabulous blog to follow, thank you! I love black and white with a pop of teal.
Oh boy my favorite color scheme? that’s tough for me because I tend to love a rainbow of colors! HAHA!
I love variety of colors but with flower images, I love to use shades of reds/pinks and yellow with a neutral.
Your flowers are so beautiful. I love the way you blend the colors. I’m just starting to do it. Mine are not the same. Keep making the beautiful card.
I make a ton of birthday and holiday cards! Luv using your stamps!!
I love the warm colours of Autumn, so pretty,or the lush greens of the bush here in New Zealand. Thanks for the chance to win some of your fabulous stamps.
Stay Safe
In the spring, I gravitate to pastels……soft yellow, soft pink, and lilac with perkier accents like fuschia, purple, and aqua. (All used in this year’s Easter cards). I’m always on the lookout for soft peach and pale mint green paper for my cards, but they are difficult to find.
a reverse rainbow is my favorite.
I like bright colors & flowers. But also, I like interactive cards. Some that have movement, or shakers, etc.
I love monochromatic grays…don’t use it very often, but I LOVE IT!
I like to make monochromatic cards in any color with a pop of something complimentary.
I absolutely adore black and white cards with a bright color for a visual accent, a bow, embellishments, etc. A black & white polka-dot on one side and a fuchsia on the other side makes me very happy. Take care…
Thanks for all the.inspiration. Definitely need a distraction right now!
Thank you for always having such beautiful stamps and gorgeous samples. Now, thank you for offering this special contest just when we all need it.
My favourite colour is blue…specifically teal…and I love using those colours on my cards.

Fun to read everyone’s response and get different ideas of color combos, which I struggle with. I love gold with pink. My favorite colors are the blues and reds although I struggle to blend reds so I use pinks instead. Favorite color combo depends upon what I’m coloring. Thanks, PB
I like bright cheerful color schemes-typically the rainbow. Lately navy blue and yellow has been a favorite!
I love floral schemes with blues, yellows, pinks…..
Thank you for your question *lol
My fav´s are taube ( think it´s a kind of gray / brown) with off-white
and in many ways a deep blackberry tone also most with off-white.
And for sure all colors going to be vintage (light to dark browns etc.)
Hope you and everyone reading this stays healthy and creative

I’ve been stamping for 30+ years, and my fav. color combos change time to time.. Currently I love purple/yellow combination! This combo gives me “calmness & cheerfulness” at the same time, which I need in this stressful time. .. Thank you for this generous giveaway in this unsettling time!
I’m loving soft pink peach and green. Think flowers!
I have been stamping since 1999 and I cannot even think to pick a favorite color scheme!! Right now I am in to purple and green, but other times I like aqua and red. It just depends on my mood.
My favorite colors for stamping are all the blues, aquas & maybe add a little purples in it. I love Penny Black stamps & dies!!
I don’t really have a favorite. Right now, I’m liking burnt orange, midnight blue and turquoise.
I don’t have one favourite color scheme, though I do love white card bases. They’re like a blank slate to me and work so well for clean & simple designs.
My favorite colors scheme are sunrise sunset colors next to stark white.
I love using purples and pinks with a bit of blue, those colors never fail to make me happy.
I love landscape card designs. My favorite color scheme is blues and purples with touches of pinks and yellows. Sunsets, sunrises are my favorite. Watercolored is best maybe because of the lack of control – just like nature.
My favorite is dark blue and aqua, with a pop of yellow, as I like blues and greens.
My favorite is a happy pink and green! Keep safe everyone!
I like jewel tone colors, or earthy tones…blues, pinks, greens, dirty yellow.
My favorite color is purple, any shade! But it usually decides on the person I am making the card for or the card that I am making as to what color I use. Stay safe and stay healthy friends.
The ideas by your designers are incredible. Most are just jaw dropping beautiful and priceless. Gives us hope in this world and for us to aspire to make cards as beauitful as these. We owe so much to Mimi and Heather and Jill and Biggan…and all of them.

Beautiful shades of pinks and purple brighten my day.
I like blues and browns together.
Mimi’s art is always amazing! I love so many color schemes but lately I am loving the blues and purples again.
At this time I love bright and pastel rainbow colors to brighten these strange days. Normally I love blues (maritime) and greens (garden).
Favorite color combos change with the seasons. For spring I like pink and green. For winter I use shades of blue. For summer it’s lemon yellow and orange.
My favorite colour scheme is blues and greens with white.
Love all the inspiration you send our way. I personally love floral cards most. Coloured any way. Thanks for the giveaway.
I love Penny Black Stamps, such beautiful images!! I love all thinks purple and white.
My favorite card making color combination is shades of green and pinks. I use other combinations but find it hard not to squeeze in some shades of green. Most of stamp collection are floral stamps so greens are a must!
Purple, Pink, & Yellow! My fave out of all my faves. 🙂
Lately Ive been drawn to mint and purple!
Pink and green, either in pastel shades or vivid shades 😎
