Penny Black: Watercolor Designed Stamps
Hi! It is Lisa here today and I have a floral card to share with you. I am sure many of you have seen the Penny Black stamps that resemble watercolored images once they are stamped, and I find them to be terrific! The specific stamp that I have used for today’s project is called Magnolia Rhapsody, while this specific set is on back order there are many of the newest release sets that give the same results.
To create my card I started by stamping the Magnolia image with various Tombow Dual Brush Markers. When you are wanting to add multiple layers of colors to one image I highly recommend using a MISTI. This will save you so much time and just make everything easier! After I had all of my colors added I used the blender pen that came in my Tombow Marker Set to blend the colors together, and to take away any splotchy areas. You could also use a paintbrush and clean water for blending.
Next, I added my sentiment from the Mama Elephant Wishing You Stamp Set with Lawn Fawn ink in Deep Sea. I then went around the borders of the card with Distress Ink in Broken China, and finished the card off with clear sequins.
I hope you are joining us in our latest challenge, as well as make sure you get entered into our latest giveaway!

Absolutely beautiful card! That floral stamp is gorgeous. Your technique makes it look like you painted that floral branch freehand. Stunning! I love all of those ME sentiment stamp sets. The swirly main sentiment stamp makes such a nice impact … it can totally be used as the main focal point for a card all by itself.

Gorgeous card and great looking stamp set. Too bad it’s not available as a clear stamp. Great choice for the sentiment. It pairs together beautifully.
