You’re
invited to join in the fun as Penny Black celebrates the release of their
newest collection of stamps and dies, Timeless. And what better way to
party than a blog hop!
I
hope you've been joying your blog hop journey so far! You should have arrived
here from Julia's post:

hop from the beginning, you can go to the Penny
Black blog for a complete list of all of the blog hop
participants.
I
started with a light gray top-folding card base, which I placed into my stamp
positioning tool. I used a Versafine Ink marker to thoroughly ink up all of the
blooms, then stamped it down. I re-inked mine again just to make sure. I removed
the card, sprinkled white embossing powder onto the image and heat set it. I
replaced the card exactly where I had set it previously, inked all of the
stems with a dark gray Tombow marker, and stamped it onto the card.
I then inked up my favorite frond from the Floral
Silhouette set (30-563 Floral
Silhouette) with Versamark
ink and stamped it where shown, sprinkled with white embossing powder and heat
set that. I then very lightly sponged Hickory Smoke Distress Ink around the
flowers for contrast. It doesn't show well in the picture, but I also added some clear glitter to the flower centers.
The sentiment I used is from the Sentiments
clear set (30-544 Sentiments). It was inked with Versafine Onyx Black ink and stamped where shown.
To finish the card, I die cut the largest
frame from the new Square Frames set (51-517 Square Frames) from white card stock and adhered it to the card front. All in all,
this was a fairly quick and easy card to put together! And now for the good news:
