Friendship Flowers

banner

Penny Black is running a 2-week promotion, encouraging us to share what we've been working on this summer, stamp-wise!  It can be any theme you'd like to share, and any type of project, as long as you use at least 1 Penny Black stamp.  And of course there are prizes involved!  Click on the logo above to get all the details.  

As summer starts to move towards autumn, I want to get as many flower cards made as I can, to have on hand when something unexpected pops up.  Here's one that I made recently:


I used the Sweet Buds stamp for both the background and the main focus and added a few extra petals to my sentiment from the Friendship clear set.  I think this flower with heart blossoms looks good both ways, just stamped or colored in.  Here's a close-up of it with the blossoms popped up above the main image:


The Penny Black Stamp Squad are being featured today at the Penny Black blog, to promote their new Summer Fun stamp set.   Here's a peak at our cards:

Gorgeous card Lin! I absolutely love how you repeated in in the background panel and the buds near the sentiment that look like they've just fallen off the bloom. Marvelous work!
