Garden Poems

Hello.  I hope you are having a good day.


When I saw the Penny Black Saturday challenge
'Anything Goes'...Optional 'Use Something Old or Neglected'
I immediately thought of this stamp.
I believe it was the first Penny Black stamp I ever bought.
It had been neglected for too long.

I stamped it with Archival Gray ink and used Distress markers and my
waterbrush to color it.

When it was dry, I added some white dots with a gel pen.

If you'd like to see other cards I made with this stamp, look here, here and here.



Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

    So pretty in pink Bonnie and the prettily etched die cut frame really shows the beautiful blooms off well, and with a great sentiment and some soft watercolouring of the background too. x

    Such fun to see your older cards made with the same stamp! This new version is definitely my favourite! Love the bright pink and the white dots on the petals, and the soft wash on the background!

    This stamp may be older, but it's still pretty - especially in pink!

    Oh how I love the aura of this blooms. That first wash beautifully sets the tone and then the intense pop of color on the whole flowers really are truly exceptional. Wow and wow. Such perfect framing too. xx
