Garden Party | Penny Black

Special Friends and A Garden

Hey there Penny Black fans!   Are you tired of bunnies?  Nah, I didn't think so (she smiles).  I'm back today to share another sweet springtime card created with several new creative dies and one of my favorite stamp sets.   It's a garden party with pretty pink gingham, springtime green, and the cutest tiny watering can.  All we need are our gloves and hat!

Penny Black products used:  Special Friends #30-561, Floral Silhouette #30-563, A Garden #51-510, Swirly Stitches #51-502, and Hello Frame #51-040

First, don't you just love those tiny flowers and watering can?!  Am I the only one that thinks all the little wee ones come out to play at twilight in the garden?  Do you talk to your plants and flowers?  I confess, I do (she laughs).

The first thing I did when I pulled out my creative dies and stamp set was to pick my checked patterned paper for the background and a smaller check for the small table cloth.  I also wanted to emboss (again) that sweet bunny from the Special Friends set.  But this time I used a pretty rose gold embossing powder - oh I wish you could see this in real time.  Once I embossed and let it cool, I used just a touch of Copic color to the bunny.   Next, I die cut a pretty frame and small panel using the newest Swirly Stitches dies, and trimmed them both with my gold leaf pen.   Then I used my Zigs (a pretty spring green) again on one of the pretty solid transparent stamps in the Floral Silhouette set and stamped on the smallest panel.   Add a little water from a water pen or small brush and you get a beautiful soft, out-of-focus appearance that projects a peek into my secret garden.   I popped up the bunny with adhesive dimensional squares.   Now you have a bit of depth and perspective to the window.   A Garden provides just the perfect size garden elements for this garden party.  The little watering can, tiny flowers, and leaves are so sweet. 

Rose gold sequins and a happy Hello finished the card.   I cut the word Hello from the Hello Frame three times from soft grey card stock.   This card has tons of sweet dimension and layers of details.   I'll be back a little later with some more Timeless 2019 creations using the newest release of stamps and creative die-cuts.
