Wishing all my blogging friends and readers a
very Happy Easter, filled with lots of sunshine, love and happy memories.
It's the first Sunday of the month, and that means it's time for a new Penny Black and More challenge. We have another fun and easy theme for you - Birthdays. I hope you'll play along with us. You have until the end of the month to join us, and don't forget you don't have to use a Penny Black stamp, any company works, just no digi stamps.
For my card today I inked up some of my brand new favorites from Penny Black's Bring on the Happy Release. It took a while for these stamps to arrive at my house, but I am so happy that I finally got them and the wait was well worth it. By the way, all new stamps that I had on order are now finally available in my Etsy *Stamp* shop.
I didn't really intend for the background to look "beach-y" but somehow it does LOL. I guess no-one said you can't eat a cupcake on the beach :-)
I started out by stamping my image using memento ink onto xpress it blending card. It's been colored using copic markers. I stamped the image again onto a sticky note, and cut out a mask to cover up my image on the card, so I could do some stenciling.
The beautiful stencil is also new from Penny Black - Hypnotic. I used SU's soft sky ink for stenciling. Another stencil was used on the bottom portion. Glittered the wings and a little bit of the icing and then stamped the sentiment. I didn't really plan on ever purchasing any Penny Black sentiment sets (because I have so many sentiments already), but really fell in love with their sentiments from this release, so I bought 3 (they are all available in my shop too.)
I used another sentiment from this set "Sprinkles and Smiles" on the inside, and did some stenciling too.
Products used:
(all 3 are available in my Etsy stamp shop)
MME designer paper, xpress card, recollections 110lb card stock
copics and pencils for coloring
washi tape, glitter, sequins
