Penny Black | Poetic 2017 Collection | Spotlight 3
Hello everyone! This month, I’m back
with more cards for Penny Black featuring stamps and dies from
their newest Poetic 2017 catalog. The mixed media portrait stamps are
AMAZING and so versatile!
I really LOVE the Penny Black
portrait stamps. They can be embellished/customized as you like and no other crafter will
achieve the same result. I went for a fashion portrait with lots of texture and
dimension. I stamped the image in light ink onto white cardstock and used the no-line
coloring technique. I colored the fashionista with Copics, pencils and
even pan pastels. Next, I cut out the image using scissors as well as a hat
shape from black cardstock. I mixed texture paste with black ink and covered
the hat with this paste using a palette knife. The paste adds a lot of fun
texture and it looks so real. Once it was dry, I fixed black tull on it. I
adhered the image with foam pads to a top-folded card base that I splattered
with black ink. I stamped the Party
sentiment from the 30-358 Happy Snippets
sentiment set in black ink. To finish off my creation, I added Diamond Stickles
to the eyes and Black Diamond Stickles to the clothing/dress. Unfortunately,
the picture doesn’t show how much it sparkles. The Black Diamond Stickles has
black, clear and blue glitter and it just looks AMAZING!
Here are the stamps I used for this
