My cards today are both sets and dies from the new Timeless release. One of my favorite sets is the Special Friends stamp and coordinating die. So many lovely stamps in this 5"x 6.5" - four woodland critters, leaves, a banner and three sentiments; springtime couldn't be more beautiful! For this card I die-cut a panel of card stock using the new Cut & Stitch Circle die, and backed it with a lovely marbled shade of spring green card stock. The die leaves behind a circle negative that you can use as an inset or for another project. I inked one of the stamps in the Floral Silhouette set (the one that looks like Queen Ann's Lace) with my Zigs. I wondered how the Zigs would work on a solid transparent stamp. Since the ink is water reactive it behaved just as I thought. I used several different shades of blue and red violet and loved the outcome. I applied a little water around the tiny blooms to achieve that soft, out-of-focus look -- a window into a secret springtime garden and the beauty it brings.

March brings St. Patrick's Day and some sweet stamp sets in the newest Penny Black Stamps collection, Timeless. I always say don't overlook the smaller stamps and sentiments in sets that can convey your message. Like this sweet set, Floral Silhouette with sentiment. I used another solid transparent stamp from the set for this Good Luck card. The tiny flowers are die-cut using the new creative die, A Garden.

A little sliver thread behind the sentiment and some gold leaf around the edges creates a lovely, simple card. Who will you send a Bit O' the Irish luck to today?
Thank you for joining me as I continue to share the cards I've created with Penny Black's newest springtime Timeless release.
Oh, good heavens, stop! This bunny is even more adorable! Such a darling, sweet card, so pretty with your delicate floral background and the loopy die. A lovely good luck card, too, which clearly doesn't have to be for St. Patrick's Day. I have to go now and see everything!
