Terri asked me to work with a lovely Penny Black stamp and stencil this month, so here's the first of my creations using the materials I chose to work with...and with the lovely stamp. I'm going to have a lot of fun with this one! I have several cards planned...and they're all everyday type cards.
Instructions: Stamp the poppy stamp on vellum with versamark ink and emboss in black. Color the back side of the vellum with markers. I used water-based markers and heat-dried them so that they wouldn't smear. Mount the vellum on the designer paper and the designer paper on a black mat. Add ribbon and bow (I used the Bow-Easy to make the bow). The greeting is done in black embossing as well and attached with twine.
Hint: Do you need black twine and you only have natural? Use a permanent marker, like your Copics or a Sharpie, and color it! Easy-Peasy!
Hint the second: Is your tag punch a bit too short for your sentiment? Cut a strip of paper exactly the width of your punch...for my punch it was just under 5/8 inch wide. Then take a look at the pictures on this blog post to see how to punch the two ends separately.
