PB Summer Collection- Sent with Love

Isn't this, Penny Black 40-140 Sent with Love, the sweetest stamp?
My card was stamped with VersaFine Onyx Black ink and then clear embossed.  Next, I colored the flowers and postage images with Copic markers.  Finally, I distressed the background with Evergreen Bough Distress Ink and the edges with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink. 

Thanks for popping by!

Dress Up Mimi

Hi everyone! I hope you had a wonderful weekend and that your week is off to a great start.  I've been SUPER busy with lots of behind the scenes stamping in preparation for summer CHA, so I'll keep this post short.  I love this cute new Mimi stamp, 4265H Dress Up Mimi.
For details on how this was created and to see an adorable card created by Cathy Adronicou using this same stamp, visit the Penny Black blog HERE.

HUGS!

The Set

I hope you don't mind, but I just couldn't resist sharing all four cards I created for the Penny Black retailer board program in one place! :)   One of my favorite things about designing a set like this is making four cards that are visually quite different but still work together as well.  I'm thinking I may have to make another set like this as a gift set, too.
For details and exact stamps used, scroll down for the individual posts.

And did you see that the new Penny Black 2012 Summer Collection has been released?  You can view the entire catalog HERE and the stamps are available in the online store HERE. I love them all and I have to say that this is one of my favorite releases yet.  Here are a few of my favorites:

Thanks for visiting, my friends! I'll be back on Monday with a new PB&J Video. :)
