Hi everyone! It’s Lisa<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span> here with you on this fabulously crafty Tuesday. \u00a0And we are thrilled to be Blog Hopping with Penny Black<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span> all week long and getting in the Holiday spirit early. Yay!<\/p>\n

Here is the card that I created for the hop. I always love creating with Penny Black. My creativity tends to go a little bit crazy. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

I used the Sprightly (40-337)<\/span><\/a> <\/span>background stamp in a slightly different way. I heat embossed it with gold embossing powder and then used just parts of the stamp to create kind of a swirly look on opposing corners. I then used 3 colors of Distress Inks (Seedless Preserves, Pumice Stone and Evergreen Bough) to “watercolor” the background. The berries were colored with an Art GRIP\u2122 Aquarelle Watercolor Pencil from Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft\u00ae.<\/p>\n

You can see some of the overlap of the colors a little bit better in this photo. It’s a very loose style of watercoloring.<\/p>\n

I used the same gold embossing powder on a piece of cardstock weight vellum to stamp the sentiment from the set called Beauty of the Season (30-254)<\/span><\/a><\/span> which I wrapped around the watercolored piece. I secured it in place with my E-Z Dots\u009d\u00ae Permanent Refillable Adhesive<\/span><\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Then I added LOTS of 3D Foam Squares<\/span><\/a><\/span> (in white) to give the card front dimension. Before attaching to the card base, I wrapped a piece of Ivory seam binding ribbon around it and secured with a few DODZ\u2122 – Small<\/span><\/a><\/span> (I like to roll them up).<\/p>\n

Now all I had to do was add it to the card base, which I kept neutral. I love how it turned out. I hope you all like it, too! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
