Penny Black Saturday Challenge 8/2025

Such a great way to use a watercolor background for a Penny Black card.

The base card is multiple card stocks that coordinate with the watercolored background.

On more white card stock I stamped the images from Penny Black “be very scared”, colored them with Copic markers, trimmed them out and glued them to the card front.

To finish I stamped the sentiment from the same set and filled it in with a black marker.

Sunday Stamps Challenge #367

Do you have lots of patterned paper???

I want to use up a lot of mine and then maybe donate more.

The base card is kraft card stock.

I used one of my 6x6 pads for the strips and the die cut from My favorite Things “Tea Party”.

The sentiment is from “Tea Time Sentiment Stamps”.

The Male Room Challenge #201

What better way to enjoy a Summer night than to look up through the trees into the universe’s stars.

The base card is black card stock with a layer of white card stock.

On more white card stock I stamped the tree background stamp, I think it’s from Hero Arts, and emboss it with black embossing powder.

Next I used Distress Oxide black soot ink to make the sky.

To finish I applied white gel pen for the stars.

The Paper Players Challenge #752

I decided on a gate fold card for this challenge as I had this stamped background in my stash for over 10 years!!!

The base card is burgundy card stock folded into a gate fold the cream card stock one the gates and inside.

Next I cut down the background and applied it.

To finish I used dies from My Favorite Things “Coffee Cup” and a sentiment from MFT “Coffee Order” with the extra card stock and glued it to one side of the gate.
