I've spent a lovely couple of hours in my craft room making a card for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge where the theme is swirls.
The stamp I have used is Penny Black 4039K 'Candid'. I love the Penny Black floral stamps and have many of them on my wish list.
I stamped the image twice so that I could cut out some extra petals and a flower to layer onto the base image. I coloured the image with a Copic Ciao and a Promarker and then heat embossed the pieces I wanted to layer with a clear embossing powder (this shows more clearly in the cropped picture). I also added some "Diamond Black" stickles to the centre of the flower.
The yellow cardstock has been embossed using a Cuttlebug "Divine Swirls" embossing folder. I also used my new Crafts Too "Dots" embossing folder on the oval mat, this embossing folder is great as it is 5 x 5 inches - I can see me using this one a lot.
Thank you for visiting and taking a look.
Best wishes, Clare x
