Resplendent

Sometimes a stamp really needs no help at all to be the star of a card. The Penny Black stamp, Resplendent, is one such stamp. Although the whole stamp is quite large I have just used a section of it to create this pink and blue panel. Resplendent is stamped in pink and the little flourish from the Gratitude set is stamped in blue. I added both blue and pink sponging and a mat before adding the sentiment, also from the Gratitude set, to the card base.

I had a chance to play with the elaborate Paisley stamp again yesterday so check back again this week to see what I came up with.

(There are sneak peeks of new Penny Black stamps on the PB blog this week)

Supplies:

Stamps:  ResplendentGratitude (Penny Black)
Inks: Memento Danube Blue, Lilac Posies (Tsukineko)
Cardstock: Penny Black Mix & Match Papers

    Those stamps could sit on my desk for years and NO way could I think of a way to use them. Yet you turn them into a stunning piece of art. I just LOVE seeing what you create.

    thanks,

    Stunning, Heather! Resplendent is such a detailed, almost ornate stamp, and yet you were able to add an overlay to it without overdoing it — perfect!
