Antique Key and Butterflies for Penny Black and More Challenge

Good morning! It's the 18th of the month and that means it's time for our reminder post at Penny Black and More challenge where our theme this month is all about "Favorite Stamps". There is still plenty of time to join us if you haven't already, and don't forget you may enter up to 3 times.


Please note, this post does include some affiliate links, meaning I may earn a small commission if you purchase something through the links, as always this is at no cost to you. Thanks so much for supporting my blog.



I have so many favorite Penny Black stamps, most of them are, but somehow this collage type stamp  - Gathering Together - does pop into my mind often when it's about using favorite things. I just love how all of the elements are arranged on this single stamp (minus the sentiment).


I stamped and heat embossed the image onto Bristol Vellum paper using my usual  Versafine Clair Nocturne ink and clear embossing powder. Distress inks and a Zig Detailer brush were used to color the image. I used Peacock Feathers and Tea Dye distress inks. I flicked some Peacock Feathers ink onto the background for some splatter. 

The harlequin pattern paper was included in a package of pattern papers I found at a thrift store several months ago. I really would be the last person to need any more pattern papers, but there were some great basic prints in this package and I couldn't resist :-)

The small sentiment is part of the set Butterfly Garden, also by Penny Black. It's also been heat embossed then stapled to the card and I tied some natural jute twine onto the staple to tie a bow. It's hard to see, but glitter was applied to the butterflies using a clear Wink of Stella glitter brush.


Papers: Bristol Vellum // 110lb Heavyweight Cardstock // Pattern Paper Unknown Maker
