Penny Black and More - August Challenge

It's the first Sunday of the month, that means it's time for a new theme at Penny Black and More challenge. Say it with Flowers is this month theme and hope you'll decide to play along. Our prizes this month come from Penny Black and Stamp Addicts.

I used Penny Black's slapstick stamp Light Touch, inked with Distress inks (regular, not Oxides) and Distress markers, lightly spritzed with water and stamped with the help of my stamp platform. Mine  has been discontinued but there are several options available.





I inked the edges using Antique Linen and (I think) Walnut Stain distress inks and stamped the open harlequin (not sure if this design has a specific name??) design to add some interest to the background. This stamp is an oldie from Stampin Up.

The butterfly is part of Penny Black's Flowing Butterflies die. It's been cut out of white card stock then inked with distress ink. The sentiment is one from the set Blooming Sentiments, one of my newer favorite stamp sets ,with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink.

  1. Such a lovely fresh and bright Summery feel to your pretty card Ellie. I would be lost without my stamp platform, especially with Brushstroke stamps where it really opens up possibilities.
