Penny Black - At Ease

Hi everyone.  There's a new release at Penny Black called Dream & Discover.  The image above is from one of the new stamp sets called At Ease (30-844).

I stamped the boathouse in Archival Shadow Grey and watercolopured with markers.  I added a small birthday wish sentiment from the Blown Away (30-836) set, stamped in Candied Apple distress ink.

Close-up ...

Sending this card to Seize the Birthday #218 - Framed (or Anything Goes Birthday).  I didn't use the "framed" topping, but this is a summer birthday card, so happy to add it to their gallery!


I'll be back soon with more cards using this new release, Dream & Discover.

Thanks for stopping by!

OMGosh, I think I love this new release, but I shouldn't even be looking. I only have half a stamp room... that's another story. I'm such a sucker for beachy stamps. You did this one proud, Loll!
