Bonjour ATC

Hello,

Here is an ATC I made using the stamp set Mimi in Paris from Penny Black.

I used some French scrapbook paper for the background.

I coloured Mimi with Spectrum Noir markers and fussy cut her out.

I added some grey gemstones to the top and edged around the entire ATC with Distress Ink in Hickory Smoke.

Penny Black Watercolour Card

Hello,

Here is a little card I made using a stamp set called Kitty's Day from Penny Black. I watercoloured the image with watercolor pencils and a waterbrush. 

Here's a look:

I wrapped some Doodlebug twine around the top and added a puffy heart cupcake sticker. The entire background is covered with cupcake washi tape.

Penny Black Beach Card

Hi everyone,

I would like to share a fun beach themed card I made using Penny Black Stamps. The stamp set is called Fun in the Sun and features adorable little Mimi.

Here's a look at the card:

I coloured all of the images with Prismacolour markers. 

The pattern papers are from Lawn Fawn's Hello Sunshine paper pack. 

Both the wave stamp and palm trees are from a Studio G set. I cut out two sets of waves and placed them behind the sand layer which I popped up on foam squares.

I used Doodlebug's Sugar Coating glitter in yellow on the starfish to make them really sparkle. I also went over the surfboards, sun rays and her heart glasses with a clear Wink of Stella glitter pen.  

I just free-handed the cloud and lightly sponged on some Distress Ink in peacock feathers.

I used Folk Art's texture paint to give the sand a realistic look. I then painted it with antique gold acrylic paint.

Here's a closer look at the sand:

Art Journal Dylusions Page

Hi,

Here is another page of my mixed media art journal. I've been eyeing the Dylusions stamps for awhile now and finally got around to purchasing them. I bought the Pondering Petunia and Curious Corrin sets and they are so much fun. Petunia is my absolute favourite though.

Originally I was going to have her holding an umbrella. After playing around with different options for hair,  I came up with using the umbrella as a sorta hat.
She is coloured monochromatically in blue with Prismacolour markers.


Here's a look:  

For the background, I stenciled Silks acrylic glaze in the colour snapdragon through a dot stencil then painted the entire page with turquoise acrylic paint. I stamped some clouds and raindrops [which are Penny Black stamps] using Staz On ink in ultramarine blue, then clear embossed them.

The border is hand drawn and I coloured it in with a white Signo pen and black Sharpie paint pen.
