Having another Penny Black Day!
Posted: February 20, 2012 Filed under: Berry red snow white, CAS, Penny Black, Splendor 29 Comments
Believe or not I am being featured again on the Penny Black blog today. The exciting news is that I am now a member of the Penny Black design team. I will be posting over at the PB blog regularly and you will see more PB creations here on my blog too. I am thrilled and a little nervous about joining such a talented team of designers.
Both these cards were masked first and in the case of the top one I masked within the big square so I could sponge one season colour scheme at a time. I then added water droplets and the text before stamping the tree.
In the moonscape card I punched a circle from a post it note for my moon and placed a hill mask before sponging the sky. I used two more hill masks for snow drifts and then stamped the image in black. To create the shadow I inked the fence and stamped it on a piece of clear plastic which I could then position and press onto the snow for a mirror image.
Supplies:
Stamps: Berry red, snow white (Penny Black), Splendor (PB), Letter Background (PB)
Inks: (1st card) Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery, Bashful Blue, Summer Sun, Pumpkin Pie, Rose Red, Marina Mist, Early Espresso
(2nd card)Marina Mist, Going Gray,Versafine Onyx Black
Cardstock: MFP 100lb white

WOW Heather! Awesome creations! Love them both but the second one really makes me want to make it!!! Hey, what does the MFP stand for in the card-stock you used? Thanks!
Gorgeous cards!!!
Your art is amazing! I am enjoying walking through your blog and learning new techniques.
Thanks for sharing your magic!
Congratulations! I’ll be looking for your cards on the PB blog. TFS 😉
Two knockout cards–WOW!
Just have to tell you…..I love your cards!!!! I save photos from Blogs to inspire me. I have them in a folder named favorite samples, which I browse through when I’m looking for something to make. That folder is half filled with just yours. Love the artsy look & the simplicity of your cards!
Your cards are stunning, Heather! Congratulations on being selected for the Penny Black design team!
Artistic and stylish cards Heather. Congratulations on your wonderful news!
Fantastic cards and congrats on joining the Penny Black team!
These creations are so gorgeous Heather. Very artistic and the snow card I love him. Such a beautiful work. Congrats with your DS team membership. Fantastic.
Lovely greet Marja
Hi Heather, Welcome to the team and you are such a perfect addition. Your cards are so artistic and breathtaking. Looking forward to working with you. Hugs, Kathy
Beautiful!
Penny Black is sooooooooo lucky!
I bought the stamp with the fence in such a rush when what I had intended to buy was the OTHER berry branch you did
WITHOUT the fence, a couple of weeks ago. I hadn’t used it yet but must have been awaiting inspiration from you…..AGAIN!
Your artistry is SUCH a gift to look at.
Thanks,

Love your first card — the colors of the squares, and the way you did it, are awesome. Very colorful and happy-looking! What a great, and easy, shadow technique for your second card.! I looks great, and something easy to try. Your berry red stamp looks totally different in this card! Both cards are lovely. Congrats to Penny Black — they were lucky to get you. And so are we.
Really lovely cards-looking forward to more of your beautiful projects.
Congratulations, Heather! It will be so inspiring to see regula PB inspiration from you. The two cards today… beautiful!
Arggghhhh, of course that should be “regular”. 😛
Congratulations on your appointment to the Penny Black Design team. I look forward to seeing more of your gorgeous and inspiring work.
Both cards are gorgeous! You will be a good asset to Penny Black.
Of course PB want you on their team – you have a wonderful talent Heather! Your cards are works of art. Congratulations!
Both gorgeous projects heather, glad you are on the team
Congratulations! I love both cards, but the blocks of color behind that black tree are really fabulous.
Congratulations – lovely to see your style & to learn some more about how to create scenery.
The shadows & the snow layers are what makes these live so beautifully & it’s very interesting to see the PB stamps used in this manner.

What exciting news Heather! I’m so pleased you’ve joined the team – they are lucky to have you! These two cards are just perfect as always – I particularly like the second as I love these nature scenes. The shadow is very effective!
Those gals at Penny Black are talented but you are just as talented! Love both your cards today!
Love these cards – so colorful, artistic and beautiful! Thank you for sharing these lovelies!
I had to pin this and attempt to do one. I just love it. Thank you so much for sharing. I love all of your work
Hi,Heather…Wow! More amazing cards! You are very talented indeed! I just love the simplicity of your creations,you layer,but not bulky,perfect for Christmas Cards as I send many in the mail. Thanks for all your inspiration!
Just love your moody cards. I would really like to know how you achieved the card with the Penny Black Splendor stamp and the 4 colours to depict the 4 seasons. What medium did you use and how was it applied? For example, did you first mask the squares, then do the wash, then stamp a script background, and then sprinkle water drops before stamping the Splendor in the centre of the square? Your help would be appreciated. Thanks in anticipation!
This is so unbelievably amazing Heather. I LOVE your snow scene. Oh I am in awe.
