Hey friends!! Popping in with a card that I made for the current Penny Black Saturday Challenge - spring flowers. My in real life friend, Greta, is one of the design team members for the PBSC and it has been my goal since she joined the team to play along... finally that day has come, lol!! I'm also going to post this to Less is More - yellow and green.
I bought this gorgeous Penny Black stamp Botanical Notes ages ago and had never inked it. No one makes collage stamps quite like Penny Black! I inked up the stamp with Memento Rich Cocoa and colored it with Copic markers. I have to work some more on my coloring skills, but I really like how the flower turned out. The butterfly was stamped a second time, colored and trimmed out. I attached it and then added a little coating of Crystal Stickles to the center of the butterfly, as well as the center of the flower. I mounted it on a grey card base as I think it makes the colors pop a little more than a plain white card base. Decided not to put a sentiment on it... maybe I will at a later date.
Have a happy day...
