Life is a Miracle – A Penny Black card!

Hello everyone,

I have a very colourful card to share today! I made this card using Penny Black stamp sets and dies.

I started with a white cardstock trimmed to 4 x 5.25 inches. I randomly trimmed a masking paper to mask off  the bottom of the card panel. Then I sponged Picked Raspberry, Abandoned Coral, Seedless Preserve and Dusty Concord Distress Inks. Went back and forth until I got the blending right. Then I masking the sponged side and sponged Crushed Olive and Mowed Lawn distress inks. Again going back and forth until the colours blend evenly. Then I spattered with some clean water. Once dry, I stamped the leaves from You & Me stamp set in black. I use Versafine Black pigment ink. This ink gives a clean and detailed finish. Then I glued the Wonder & Joy die cut in gold glitter cardstock. Stamped the sentiment from Season’s Gift stamp set in black. I adhered this panel on to a gold cardstock and embellished with Pretty Pink Posh Gold 6mm and 4mm sequins.
