Hello crafty friends I am so pleased you stopped by. Today I want to share a few cards I created using product from Penny Black's newest release, Sweet Spring.
My first card is a 5" square card. I cut a top panel from the new "Stitched Square and Circles" die before stamping and coloring my images. All my cards were colored with Prisma colored pencils.
For my second 5" square card I used the "Stitched Stackers" die to emboss a frame directly to my card face then I stamped and colored the image before attaching my "hello" sentiment.
With some careful masking I was able to create all my cards using the same stamp. Using smaller sections of the image really stretch the use of just one stamp!
My third card is an A2 size. It is another one layer card using only a portion of the whole cactus stamp.
Here is an easy reference for the supplies I used:
 |
| Happy Together #30-465 |
 |
| Stitched Squares & Circles # 51-422 |
 |
| Birthday Love #30-413 |
 |
| Stitched Stackers #51-416 |
 |
| Doodles #51-128 |
 |
| April Showers #30-172 |
That is it for me today. I hope you are having a great week so far!! : ) and that you are getting to play with your favorite hobby.

Patti, I found the dessert to have it's own beauty and of course the cactus is a big part of that. I marveled at all the blooms that come from those scraggly looking (sometimes) plants. and those blooms can be majestic! Maybe only last hours, but oh so gorgeous and striking! I am glad you are home safe and ready to start your next life's adventure! Your cards are fantastic, I love how you emboss the stitched stackers for extra eye appeal and texture! Your coloring is spot on and always perfect! Have a great rest of the week! Heart Hugs, Colleen
Solo, a trio, a quintet...your succulents are absolutely darling in all their iterations! Such pretty designs; these would make a lovely gift set! Although we live far from cacti, that doesn't stop me from being enamoured with them, too! Did you find a place? When does your new 'warmer' journey begin?
Hugs~c
Such gorgeous trio of cards. Fabulous masking, stamping and colouring. Love the vase your DH gave you too x Hope the trip was fruitful? x
Such a gorgeous collection of cards <3. Love the vase in the background, lovely gift :) I love the hues especially of some of the smaller cacti
Beautifully done Patti! Like your thoughts of me with polka dots, now I will alway think of you when I see cacti! I love that you added the bit of color shading underneath them so they aren't just floating on the card. It really pulls the design together. Fabulous work my friend!
You, Miss Patti, are incredibly clever to mask your stamp and achieve the variety in your card set. The vase is awesome and your colors hint that you're adopting southwest hues already! I'm waiting to see where you'll be in a year or so. There is a lot of beauty to enjoy in the southwest.
First up, that vase is so cool! What a sweet hubby. Your cacti are colored so prettily! It's amazing what beauty can be found in something so prickly. Thank you for sharing. Have you found your next home? I hope things get settled soon for you so you can get busy enjoying the new adventure. No favorite hobby time for me this week, unless you count Mom Taxi as a hobby. LOL It's all good and my season of life right now.
Your cards are so very gorgeous and well designed. I like that you used a sentiment from the other set like you did to work for a perfect addition to the card. And I love the colors you used. You really captured the inspiration photo perfectly with them.
Beautiful cactus cards Patti! Love these sweet images and you have coloured them to perfection. Each card is so adorable!! xx

WOW...you have made these Cactus's (or is it Cacti for plural??) look FABULOUS Patti! Your soft coloring is perfection and each card is a gem!! I too will now start thinking of you when I see a Cactus!! Sending many thoughts and prayers your way as you make this big move and hoping it will open a whole new world for you!! Hugs my friend!! :0)
