I love this Penny Black stamp and it's so easy to use.
I popped it in my MISTI and inked it up with Distress Ink Cubes and Markers.
A little touch with a damp waterbrush and more stamping got the
depth of color I was looking for.
When finished, I used the almost inkless stamp around the background to
give a little more depth.
And another play with this stamp.
A little darker shade of blue, a popped up frame and a little bee
made this a bit different. We used this design, minus the bee and
popped up frame at my last class.

Blue is the color of most swimming pools so I think it's a summer color

LOVE both versions Bonnie. Gorgeous colours. The stitched and popped up frame and bee create a darling summer garden scene. xx
These are both fantastic. Such a beautiful stamp and gorgeous shades of blue. Love the bee!
So great to see you joining us at Penny Black and More challenge this month!
Well, you did it again- I'm going shopping. Love that stamp and of course your blues are over the top gorgeous as well as the coverage you achieved with this technique. This is something I like to do. Thanks for sharing this. Love the subtle stamping in the background- perfect for people like me who just can't manage a soft wash.
Bonnie, both cards are wonderful. I do love the die cute frame :)
What beautiful cards Bonnie - love the framed one in particular - that is superb with the added dimension
Blessings

Bonnie, what a beautiful stamp... and I love the way you've used Distress inks to ink it up! I always resist these silhouette stamps because I don't own any of the water color markers - you've well shown me that they aren't needed!
Gorgeous!

Both your cards are so pretty. Love the blues and how you mist the stamps to get that water color look. I have to try that. TFS
2 lovely cards Bonnie using this beautiful PB stamp! x
Both cards are beautiful and love the depth of colour you achieved and also the wispy backgrounds. Stunning cards Bonnie x

Beautifully done, both are so pretty with those lovely shades of blue. Love the bee too.

I love that stamp! I've already made two cards with mine. Great variations on using it, especially the second card with the popped up frame. And of course, I love the shades of blue!
These blooms are gorgeous in blue!
I adore both of your cards Bonnie, they are so sweet and beautiful. Love the light stamping in the background, just enough ink to give the illusion of flowers back in the distance. The bee on your second card is so fun. Both amazing to say the least. Hugs, Brenda
Two Gorgeous flower card designs, Bonnie. I love both cards equally. I love how you stamped and watercolored the flowers, your color choices and stamped backgrounds with leftover ink on stamps:-) Wonderful how you popped up the frame with the overlap of the stamped flowers on the 2nd card. There is a name for that technique, but can't remember. TFS your beauties, my friend. Hugs..Nancy
Both are beautifully blue, how I do love this tone for flowers. So different designs but equally exquisite, you definitely honoured this stamp! xxx
Bonnie, both cards are great. I love this shade of blue, the color gradation creates a wonderful effect. I love the layered frame in the second tab with some stamping on it.
