One Step Closer

by Catherine Carroll

Hi Everyone,

Have you all seen the “Beat the Heat” Challenge on the Penny Black blog? I can’t believe I missed it! Still, better late than never!

Penny Black "Beat the Heat" Challenge

Penny Black “Beat the Heat” Challenge

I really wanted to play with this Penny Black stamp again. It’s just so cute. I’m still not quite there in terms of the design in my head and getting it onto paper but I am getting closer. I’m thinking a touch of glitter on the petals might be a nice touch too…maybe on the next card.

Thinking of You! Materials used: Stamps - Asking the Flowers 2296K, Salutations 30-014 (Penny Black); Cardstock - Knight; Distress Markers; Designer Paper - Sweet Threads 6x6 Paper Pad, Knee Highs 6x6 Paper Pad (Basic Grey); and Embroidery Floss.

Hope you are all “beating the heat” if you are in summer. For those of us down under, hope you are keeping warm!

Happy Stamping!

Such a cutie! Love the little hedgehog and his pinkish cheeks. Once again, I am blown away by your coloring. I zeroed in on your daisies, and love how you’ve colored the ends pink. This is just darling. Love the dp and twine accent too. Have a good evening and keep warm. Later!

Don’t Penny Black have the sweetest stamps, Bev? Such a pleasure to colour them. Thank you for your sweet comments too. Oh yeah, that is true, you don’t always have to colour the entire thing – sometimes just a hint of colour is all you need. Hope all is well with you! Will “stop by” later and see what you’ve been up to. 🙂

Kylie the details you put into your coloring are fabulous. From the smallest touches of color to the beautifully blended areas, your artistic flair shows in all that you create.
