By chance, I discovered a new challenge hosted by Penny Black. I don’t have a lot of sets from Penny Black, but I do have a few and used one of my favorites to color for my #30DayColoringChallenge, and my #The100Day Project.
I trimmed down the panel just enough to allow a the edges of the Royal Velvet card to create a border. This beauty is an older Penny Black cling stamp, “Botanical Notes.” I hadn’t pulled it out in a very long time, but it was perfect for coloring with my Polychromos colored pencils.
There really wasn’t any need (or space) for a sentiment, so this card is ready for whatever occasion arises.
We had a lovely, sunny day, a bit warmer than the last few. There’s still snow in the forecast, but by the end of next week, it looks like Spring might make a lasting appearance. I’m ready for lovely flowers in the garden, and butterflies in the air.
What an absolutely gorgeous card. Your colouring techniques bring this flower & butterfly alive. I like the purple & green combo.
As for our weather, it’s cold & this morning the forecaster said we could be setting a 92 year old record for cold on Tuesday! I cannot wait to shed the coat, boots, hats, gloves … no wait that’s going to all be replaced with face masks & gloves …
Another classy card. And the purple a fitting choice for Easter!
That purple with the fresh lime green is just luscious, and I really like the lettering addition – it adds a lovely sense of texture and depth. Having a card that’s right for any occasion is so useful … You could do a class for us all!
I love Penny Black stamps too, although I don’t have alot of them. That one is beautiful and I love the purple and green color combination. The blue on the butterfly wings really makes it pop. Lovely.
Loving all the shades of purples and blues with the green! What a pretty stamp design. I own a couple like this from Hero Arts but no PBs.
