PENNY BLACK - Trees and Birds


The colors on the picture are lighter than on the card IRL.  I took a piece of 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 piece of card stock and cut out a circle with a Spellbinders die to use as a "stencil".  I placed this piece over another 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 piece of white card stock and sponged Daffodil Delight ink into the opening.  The tree and bird stamps are from Penny Black.  Sentiment is a retired stamp from Hero Arts.
 
Next I trimmed down the image layer and added it to a slightly larger brown mat, and then onto a yellow mat before adding it to the white card front.
 
I've done a similar card but stamped the tree and birds with black ink as a silhouette.  I thought it might be fun to see what it looked like in color.

If you like the stamps, let me know and I can order them for you.........and at a discount.  Thanks for stopping by!
