It is a Fun Friday! new release from Penny Black

Hello friends and thank you for stopping in to get a look at my newest Fun Friday post! featuring a brand new Penny Black image just released TODAY!!

Their newest release, "Full Bloom", is available in the Penny Black on-line store  right now!! so grab your pocket books girls this is a good one!! : )







I went a little wild when I saw this new image LOL I really love this art style.  I created my two cards for two different occasions using the same image for Darnell's Twofer Challenge where the prompt is Zoo Animals : )





I masked off the top and sponged some ink on the bottom of this card for a nice place to sit my chic leopard.  I colored the flowers with Copic Markers and the cat with colored pencils blended with Gamsol.





I started this card by embossing a frame on the card base. Then I created an ombre background for the big cat on a separate panel and attached it to the card base using foam tape.

Two fun cards that were simple to create!

I hope you will join Darnell's Twofer Challenge with your Zoo Animals and I know you'll want to visit the Penny Black blog to see what Jill Foster has prepared to inspire us all!!

Have a wonderful day!


BIG (((HUGS)))

The leopard is so cute! I like your new stamps, Patti! Brilliant idea to make two cards, both so different! I'm lucky if I get one card made hehe.

Darnell said...

These are beautifully colored cards, Patti! And that certainly is one very chic leopard lounging under her flowery umbrella! She's got quite a satisfied smile on her face and rightly so! Thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #15 and for your kind words of support!! Happy Easter weekend! Hugs, Darnell

Oh, how beautiful! I love this art style, as well, and got on a Laurel Burch kick... along the same lines, but I adore this stamp. Your two cards are beautiful with and without the coloring Plenty of color on the thank you card. Reminds me of a sunset. I'm so glad you shared in our Twofer challenge!

These are both wonderful Patti! Love the masking on the first one to give the leopard something to ground him! He is such a happy fellow! Love the gradation of the second one too! My CAS cards never look this good! Happy Easter to you and yours!

I swear, Patti, that one of my aunties had a cat planter filled with dusty, ugly plastic flowers back in the 60s. Hated that thing, but your leopard looks amazing! Now him, I could love! Your coloring is fantastic and that panel of purple is a purr-fect perch! Great card!! And your ombre leopard looks so sweet! You've cut around his little tail, too - how fun is that?!! Two great cards!!! Love 'em! Thanks for joining us at the Twofer Challenge. It's always fun to see you in the gallery! Bev

Bobby said...

Such a fun image, Patti. You've done a great job using it two different ways.

Lisa Elton said...

Love these Patti!! What's not to love about an animal with built in polka dots!!

Kara Lynne said...

What a wonderful twofer to show off your artistic prowess (you see what I did there, because they are leopards)! I love that fun new image and your coloring is gorgeous on your birthday card - so bright and playful! Your ink blended thank you card is a true eye catcher, and such a great idea! Thanks for joining in the fun with us at the Twofer Card Challenge!

Loll said...

Your cards are so creative and fun Patti!! Love this image. Your first card is awesome with the colourful flowers and the leopard ... he really is chic!! Great design with the mix of fun, bright colours. Love the purple sponged strip at the bottom to bring attention to the sentiment. Your second card is fabulous with the ombre design and wonderful framing! Thanks for playing along with us at Twofer Card Challenge! xx

Yep, those stylised critters went on my wish list as soon as I saw them, Patti ... and you've made this one even more tempting! This lovely, chic leopard shines beautifully on both your cards ... gorgeous, vibrant colouring on the first where she's wonderfully grounded on the sponged purple ... and deliciously warm and bright in her ombré colours over the textured frame on the second! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Twofer! Hugs, Anita :)
