My Penny Black Prize!

My Penny Black Prize! by judkajudy
Here's a photo of the five woodblock stamps I won recently on the Penny Black blog. I can't believe how lucky I was! In fact, I was pretty sure it was a mistake or a joke until I replied to the email and found out I really had won all five of these stamps!

When I opened the package and saw the stamps, I was a bit overwhelmed and had no good ideas for using them. But, as often happens, when I inked them up and got started, the ideas flowed!

Penny Black has such a variety of stamps that range from elegant to cute! My favorite style of cards to make is "cute". So I will share with you today the card I made using Penny Black's woodblock stamp 100_5056 4319J "Snapshot"
 I used my new embossing folder from "Embossibilities" and highlighted the raised surfaces with Distress Inks.  I colored the cutie with Copics and added Glossy Accents to the camera lens and the little bird.  I do believe this card qualifies as "cute"!!

So as not to make this post too long, I will post a card a day until I have posted the cards I made using all five stamps.l

A VERY BIG thank you to the Penny Black folks for this very generous prize (all I did was leave comments during their preview of the new stamps!)

Thanks for stopping by!! It is a sunshiney day here in Alabama. A welcome change from our past few rainy days.
