Penny Black Sketch #4 and #5

I ran out of daylight yesterday for photographing the second card I made using the PB&J Sketch #4 using those gorgeous Classy Frames.  I really dug deeply into my Penny Black stash and found very few of their floral stamps - something to remedy in 2025!  Have you been watching Jill's videos?  Her Sketches are easily adjusted to make every one of their darling stamp sets work for you.  Watch to see how she takes those Sketches in three directions!  Here is another one from me...

and Betterpress sentiment

Sketch #5: Border Designs, arrived in my inbox and this one really speaks 'anything goes!'  It is a wonderful time to use those stamps that you don't have the coordinating dies for!


For instance, this darling Tulips for You from my stash... and I even found a way to make what I have work for the die cuts in her border!


Those banner hearts are from an old favorite company Lil' Inkers!  I decided
to leave the border color untouched for this one.  Another Betterpress-ed sentiment
and it was done!


I found an even OLDER floral in my stash - no dies for this one either... I have no clue whatsoever how long this MFT Jumbo Ric Rac has been in my stash, but I couldn't find one single vertical die to mimic that cutie Jill used!

We had even more snow overnight - I don't even want to know how much.  Though the temps have risen to a balmy 21 F.!  I will just stay in my cozy craft space until Spring!  Thanks for stopping by - your visits always help!

A cozy craft space is the very best place to be. You really don't want to go out in the snow. Just spend your days getting better and better at water colouring. I am really appreciating it. These are all wonderful xx

Three beautiful cards. Love the big floral bouquet and classy frames on the first one. The cute tulip girl stole my heart. Love the hearts on the side. The last one with the purple flowers and Jumbo Ric Rac die is lovely.
We had also had cold weather here in lower central Florida - it has only reached 50 the last 3 days - BRRRR. Stay warm and stamp away. :)
