Together with Penny Black

Hello friends.  I hope your week is off to a good start!

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.

I'm entering at

Penny Black Saturday Challenge

I'm going with the Anything Goes

and Penny Black and More Challenge

******Summer Colours******

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

Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!
