Penny Black - Captivate

Hi everyone.  Today I'm sharing another new release from Penny Black.  This image is from the stamp set Captivate.  I've also used a frame from a new background die, All-in-One Octagon - Penny Black.

I love the simplicity of this off-the-edge CAS design.  The image is stamped in black ink and heat embossed with clear before watercolouring with Distress Inks (Shabby Shutters, Peeled Paint, Ripe Persimmon, Mustard Seed).  I stamped and watercoloured the flowers of a second image, then fussy-cut the blooms and popped them on top of the base image (Paper Tole Technique).  It adds lots of depth to the flowers.

I finished the card with a lovely sentiment, Super Day - Penny Black, which is stamped in black and clear heat embossed to match the image.

Close-up ...
Sending this card to Seize the Birthday #280 - Spring Floral.  Great challenge Lin!!  Happy to be playing along!

So very lovely, Loll ... they have the most beautiful dies for framing, don't they? Wish I had them ALL!

Really pretty watercoloured flowers Loll, and the cross stitch edged octogon die shows them off beautifully, and a lovely sentiment to finish. A great idea to colour and fussy cut some more flowers to add on top, and this gives some wonderful dimension to the design. x

the extra step of fussy cutting to add dimension has really made this card special. Love your off the edge design too xx

Beautiful flowers, but what I especially love is the framing and the way it goes off the edge.

Beautifully done, Loll. Love the added depth and the movement created by putting the focal point slightly off the edge. Happy Easter.

Beautiful use of the image and the dies, Loll - loving how you have the image extending over the frame, right down to the stem! Amazing detailing, and beautiful colouring also
