<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This brushstroke stamp (Ravishing 40-589) comes to life with just three colors. The image was first stamped in Antique Linen Distress ink. Then it was watercolored using Worn Lipstick and Peeled Paint Distress inks. I created a watercolor palette by pushing the ink pads onto an acrylic block to make pools of color.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Today I have a trio of cards to share, each featuring the color pink with different products and/or coloring mediums. For this first card, I colored my roses (Penny Black Rose Bowl) stamp using Copic Markers. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br />For my next card, I repeatedly stamped Penny Black's floral stamp, Summer Glow, onto watercolor paper and painted it using watercolor pencils, blending with water in the larger, more open areas. </span></div>

They were then added to a die cut and inked scene which also included a few flowers which I colored with Copic markers. </span></div>

<i style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Ever have a card that turned into a disaster? Yes? Us too! We will share our cards that were destined for the trash and were "resuscitated" with new life.</span></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxkl8T_iHHz8Pa2sBsXbh7WYdPAlt4c5R44YS7yPqDO_62Ds41XgJUnPE7G4DslqI9hJ_JISUgYwJ_dpN-bGojsmy33lUWS2qT7LONi2bWM-x326RPIK1449M7p3AaUTP-nELJ2aY-DtQ/s1600/resuscitation.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="433" data-original-width="294" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxkl8T_iHHz8Pa2sBsXbh7WYdPAlt4c5R44YS7yPqDO_62Ds41XgJUnPE7G4DslqI9hJ_JISUgYwJ_dpN-bGojsmy33lUWS2qT7LONi2bWM-x326RPIK1449M7p3AaUTP-nELJ2aY-DtQ/s320/resuscitation.jpg" width="217" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Sometimes when I start with creating a card, I don't have any idea in my head what the finished card will be. This is usually when I am just in the mood to color so I will stamp several images and paint them. Then comes the challenge... hhmmm, how shall I put these on a card? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">For today's card, I had stamped the flowers and birds from Penny Black's beautiful transparent set, 30-478 Sublime, and painted them with Distress Reinkers used as watercolors. Because of how I had stamped/positioned them on my paper, I struggled with how to add them to a card and where to add the sentiment. I had set them aside thinking perhaps they would just fall into the category of relaxing coloring...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">But then came the resuscitation! Heehee!</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">I pulled out my Penny Black die set, 51-410 Frames, and cut out portions of my paintings to add within the cute frames. Now I knew exactly how I could add these images to my card. I love how this layout turned out and can definitely see turning to it again and again.</span><br />

<i style="background-color: white; color: #212121; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Ever have a card that turned into a disaster? Yes? Us too! We will share our cards that were destined for the trash and were "resuscitated" with new life.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">All I needed to do to finish my card, so I thought, was to add a shadow around the Blissful Blossoms. That's when everything went south. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The shadow was too dark and looked awful.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Frustrated and discouraged, I decided to see if I could "resuscitate" the card.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I covered the original design with white gesso, re-positioned the cardstock in my MISTI stamping tool and started the process over again by repeatedly stamping the blossoms using Memento Markers as my ink source.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This time instead of adding a shadow, I lightly stamped Letter Background using Peanut Brittle Memento Ink. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The Stitched Stacker frame was edged in Delicata Golden Glitz and elevated over the artwork with dimensional foam tape.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I fell in love with the soft look of the design and now have a go-to "emergency" technique to revive other cards </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Stayed tuned to hear about Jill's card "resuscitation". </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">When I think of floral happiness, the first thing that comes to my mind is Penny Black's brushstroke stamps. I recently made a series of videos featuring techniques with these gorgeous stamps, and I am excited to share them all here in one place for you today.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The majority of colorful mediums I used included lots of white and clear Gesso, acrylic paints mixed with a textile medium, VersaCraft Inks, VersaMagic Inks, StazOn Inks, Faber-Castell PITT Big Brush Pens, a white paint pen and a heat tool.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Some images might not be overly visible, but they added immense depth and texture to the overall design.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The tag was created by sandwiching the die cut present bow between two stitched rectangles.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Cup of Java was stamped on watercolor paper in Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored with Grumbacher watercolors. After fussy cutting the design it was glued to the front of the tag. The sentiment was stamped in Onyx Black VersaFine. A few twinkling dots were added with a Sakura Gelly Roll pen.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The die cut bow not only makes a cute topper for the tag, but it also allows a string or ribbon to be looped through it which makes attaching it to a gift a snap.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I go through stages of SURVIVING on coffee so I especially love this stamp. I have two cards to share with you featuring this same stamp. For the first, I made a more intricate design--coloring my image with Copic markers, fussy cutting, and then layering onto a background created with die cuts.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">And for the next card, I had a more simplistic, nearly one layer approach. My image was stamped and then painted with watercolors along with the background. I can imagine that love certainly lives (and gets rejuvenated) in many cups of java. :) </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I love a stamp that is truly unique and for me, In Paris, fits the bill.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">To create my card, I used a stamp positioning tool (MISTI by My Sweet Petunia) and stamped onto Fabriano 140 Lb. Hot Press watercolor paper. I inked my stamp with a mix of Memento Markers and Tombow Dual Brush Pens. Once stamped, I blended some of the stamping on the paper using a paintbrush and water. I also added shading and accentuated the umbrellas, figures, and shadows using colored pencils. A light layer of sponging with Broken China Distress Ink was added to the sky as well as a touch of stamping with Penny Black's Posted with Love transparent set. Finally, I stamped my sentiment (Penny Black Smile Today!) and added a frame cut from Penny Black's Antique Frames die set. The frame was inked with Antique Linen Distress Ink using an ink blending tool and a foam pad. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Now it's my turn to share how I'm smitten with stamping and I am sharing two cards with a new stamp by Penny Black that has captured my heart, <a href="http://shop.pennyblackinc.com/p/crimson-blush?pp=8" target="_blank">Crimson Blush</a>.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">For my first card I've stamped it around the perimeter of my card panel and painted it with a loose, no-line watercolor style.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This sentiment couldn't more accurately depict what art does for my heart and soul. The sentiment is from a new Penny Black release and the set is called, most appropriately for today's post, "Smitten". The subtle design behind the flowers is an old favorite "Indian Wheel" (stamped in Niagara Mist VersaMagic) and the flowers are from a collection called "Berries Delight".</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I really enjoyed the effect of combining different patterned papers to create the matted layers. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The flowers were colored with Staedtler Karat Aquarell watercolor pencils. After they were fussy cut, I pounced them with Frost VersaMark and heat embossed them with ultra thick embossing powder. I love how it looks an enamel embellishment!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">So here's my take featuring <a href="http://www.pennyblackinc.com/" target="_blank">Penny Black stamps and dies</a>.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYa5WuMhW21CDJHAPHgz8fNTpE85T1ajhTvR3VOcYt71_5EGv8qbFrw-pamVg2mH_d24zJTMuRcU0XiL674Hjkq37T1HP7uLrMMIlIsevCC_FqEHO9CN6Irb1Bkre9oMRoTDYnehGb8GY/s1600/IMG_5239.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1209" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYa5WuMhW21CDJHAPHgz8fNTpE85T1ajhTvR3VOcYt71_5EGv8qbFrw-pamVg2mH_d24zJTMuRcU0XiL674Hjkq37T1HP7uLrMMIlIsevCC_FqEHO9CN6Irb1Bkre9oMRoTDYnehGb8GY/s640/IMG_5239.JPG" width="482" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">My cute critter (Penny Black 30-447 Hedgy Joy cut with matching die, 51-389 Hedgy Joy Cut Out) was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink onto watercolor paper and then painted with Sakura Koi watercolors. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ9FfmcrlvZcmt8c4rYR9E0wK7Lty4cF4zgMRHIwaER_4mIxmiLl1vxQtJtixQLk2QnIewOUlTk7XP3WXOuOAn6Su0gRrE09VI0IrzEhqw1ML_Q0PaDRSHHNX8xgRd0KzwH84UrARDnTU/s1600/IMG_5242.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1174" data-original-width="1600" height="292" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ9FfmcrlvZcmt8c4rYR9E0wK7Lty4cF4zgMRHIwaER_4mIxmiLl1vxQtJtixQLk2QnIewOUlTk7XP3WXOuOAn6Su0gRrE09VI0IrzEhqw1ML_Q0PaDRSHHNX8xgRd0KzwH84UrARDnTU/s400/IMG_5242.JPG" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">To embellish the circular element of this design, I painted the beautiful berries and leaves die (Penny Black 51-373 Berry Branch) with Sakura Koi watercolors. Once dry, I also added a touch of Memento Bamboo Leaves ink to the leaves using a Tsukineko Jumbo Sponge Dauber. TIP: To give the leaves even more added dimension, I cut a second set of leaves and glued the painted ones right on top of these creating a double layer/thickness. It really adds a lot in real life. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKJV349s1baylsn8TQPoFl1ECrC9zsx87NCZovDuSl9PzkOOMYhyphenhyphen9t0ryuqA2aNTUvQmXV7ap4gXTZYYf33_xYSZBQ4t5b6Nd7SZNQE2X0_eogvYI27ZqZY3iHsPgKoVASzuuTfkv-_ZY/s1600/IMG_5243.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKJV349s1baylsn8TQPoFl1ECrC9zsx87NCZovDuSl9PzkOOMYhyphenhyphen9t0ryuqA2aNTUvQmXV7ap4gXTZYYf33_xYSZBQ4t5b6Nd7SZNQE2X0_eogvYI27ZqZY3iHsPgKoVASzuuTfkv-_ZY/s400/IMG_5243.JPG" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Of course, this cute critter needs something to gaze up at, so for this focal point I die cut and layered a bright poinsettia (Penny Black 51-378 Layered Poinsettia). It was also painted with Sakura Koi watercolors and, once dry, inked with Lilac Posies and Cantaloupe Memento Inks using sponge daubers.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">A couple of extra poinsettias were used to embellish the tag. Additionally, I trimmed the stitched border pieces from panels cut using Penny Black's 51-375 Snowflake Stitch Frame. The background of the tag was inked with Lilac Posies Memento ink. I just love that shade of pink. Oh, and the sentiment? It's included in the Hedgy Joy cut out die... a fun little bonus! </span></div>
