Hi friends,
I am back with more Penny Black goodness! They have this
brush stroke cling stamps. They are red rubber stamps and are
perfect for giving that water colour effect without being an actual water colour
artist.
I tried this beautiful Gentle Whisper stamp with various inks and each time I
got different look. My suggestion is... experiment with these stamps...use
different papers, different inks and paints... and you will be amazed by the
out come.
Card 1: Iron Off Embossing
Technique
I have used iron off embossing technique to make this card. It gives negative or reverse image of stamping.
1. Stamp the image with versa mark ink and clear
emboss it.
2. Apply various distress
inks with ink blending tool. The embossed part will resist the ink and give inverted image look.
3. Add some script stamping
and texture with Kaisercraft stamp. Also add some black splatter.
4. Sandwich the panel between
folded sheet of a4 copy paper and apply heat on the copy paper with hot iron.
This will melt embossing powder and the copy paper will absorb it. It will give
flat, matt image.
5. 'Wishing' die cut is from Simonsays
die & 'you joy' sentiment is made with dymo label maker. I love this handy
tool to make my own sentiments. Mount the panel on white, gold and finally on bottle green card base.

I tried stamping on kraft card using pigment ink.
1. Stamp with white colorboxpigment ink on a kraft card panel.
2. Add details with coloured
pencils. Add texture with Kaiser Kraft stamp & versa mark ink. Trim the
upper corners with corner rounder.
3. Add script detail on the bottom of card base.
4. Take a strip of corrugated
cardstock and apply viva decor gold with finger, allow it to dry for a minute,
buff it with a clean cloth. This will give an elegant shine to the parts where
inka gold is applied. Inka gold has this creamy consistency and it contains
natural bees wax(just like shoe polish). You can apply it with brush or finger
on any surface and buff it with clean
cloth or paper towel for that gorgeous metallic shine.
5. Add die cut sentiment (
here I used three die cuts in green, white & gold) and some enamel dots to
finish it off.

For this card I have used
Hero arts Ink Daubers to colour the stamp. They
contain premium Dye and Shadow inks same as hero arts ink pads, in a new way.
Daubers and brush stroke stamps are like match made in heaven. Their fluidity
accentuates the water colour look of these stamps.
Telling you... it is a must
try!
1. Apply inks with dauber on stamp and stamp on
white card base.
2. I coloured a wood veneer butterfly
with the same daubers, dabbed the edges with versa mark ink and emboss it with
gold embossing powder.
3. Add some gold string,
sentiment and enamel dot and done.

1. This one is created using
pigment inks. As name says, pigment inks have fine powdery pigment in them
which stays on the surface of paper when you stamp with it and gives very crisp
and detailed impression. So, if you are stamping person like me and haven't try
pigment inks yet... you are missing much fun.
2. I used Mama Elephant inksto create this card. They are the most creamy pigment inks and pretty...pretty colours. Some curvy strips of papers at bottom, bakers twine and some
embellishments from my stash.
This is a 2"x4" canvas board. I use them to make miniature paintings.
I used various acrylic colours to make back ground. Stamp text stamp with archival ink. Add more layers of acrylic colors. I used distress paint daubers to stamp. Added detail with paint brush. Add shadow with black pencil, stamp sentiment
with archival ink & add butterfly rub on from Tim Holtz.

This is the easiest method to get the most gorgeous results from these stamps.
1. Dab distress inks on the
stamp.
2. Spritz the stamp with
water. Stamp. Your water colour art is ready. As you can see, I did not finish the card. While I was writing the post, I realized, in enthusiasm of exploring many possibilities with the stamp...I overlooked the most obvious one. So, made this in like 2-3 minutes.
3. There was enough ink left
on stamp so I spritz it again with water and got second generation impression
too. Isn't that cool! Just by varying amount of water, you can get many different looks.

I have used Flower Frolic Die and HypnoticStencil from Penny Black.
1. Cut two die cuts from water
colour paper and paint it with water colour. Keep it aside to dry.
2. Apply embossing paste
using stencil (my stencil is stained...i am not using ink...;) ) on white card base. Let it dry.
3. Take a narrow panel of
green cs. Now, take the dry base card and once again lay the stencil on it and
adjust a little so that it will align with the previous embossing. Secure it
with masking tape on right side. Slowly insert green panel from left and
position it on card base. Once it is in place, hold it securely from right side
along with stencil and slowly remove the white card base. Apply embossing paste
and let it dry. Mount it on card base and you will have perfectly aligned
embossing at split level.
4. Add wink of stella on die
cuts and adhere them with some buttons. I used negative of die cut to ink the
corner of green panel and bottom left corner of card.

1. Take two die cuts. Emboss
some texture with help of kaisercraft stamp, versa mark ink and white embossing
powder.
2. Add some colours with some
distress inks. let it dry. Stamp sentiment (that is such a beautiful quote) with
versa fine on a white cs, trim it and mount on piece of pattern paper and then
on velum.
3. Take a 1.25x 7 inch strip
of grey paper and stamp the same texture in white pigment ink. Stick it on the
left side of card base.
4. Take 4x7 inch white cs panel. Add some colour on
the top left corner with distress inks. Apply some rub on when dried. I chose that
phrase as it goes very well with sentiment.
5. Stick the sentiment patch
with foam tape. Cut the die cuts in smaller parts and arrange and stick it with
liquid glue around sentiment patch.
6. Mount the white panel with
foam tape on card base.

1. This is kind of paper
piecing technique. Cut few die cuts from various pattern paper from - painted blooms stack by Penny Black. Take the green one as a base and cut flowers from other die cuts and
stick it on it. I wasn't sure how will it look but turned out really good.
2. Create white on white
texture with circle punch, emboss sentiment on velum , add a silver frame and stick everything in a pleasing manner.
Tag
I used same tag die to cut
pattern paper and negative of earlier die cuts. Trim the white tag from the
both side so the pink paper will peek from behind. Pop the white tag with 3d
foam tape on pink tag, add pearls and ribbon and you are good to go.
It is one looong post but

Love to you all.
