Penny Black - More Overflowing

Hi everyone.  Sharing one more card using this beautiful tulip stamp from the Overflowing Stamp set (31-062) - Penny Black, cutting it out with matching die (Overflowing Cut Out 51-822).  I watercoloured the flowers with Distress Inks:  Shabby Shutters, Peeled Paint, Saltwater Taffy, Abandoned Coral.  LOVE these colours for this stamp. :)  This time I paired it with Brew-tea-ful (31-063), stamped in light gray and watercoloured with Peacock Feathers Distress Ink.  I used the matching die (Brew-tea-ful cut out - 51-823) to cut it out.

I used one of Jill Foster's sketches, adding a panel of dry embossed (Variegated 65-008) in white for the middle section of thecard, adding a small strip at the bottom, which is watercoloured to match the greenery in the bouquet.  To finish, I stamped a sentiment (Happy Snippets 30-358) in black ink.

This is such a great card. The embossed background really caught my eye. (Why do I never remember that I have a bunch of embossing folders I could use??) The overflowing tulips flow so easily! I have an "English tea" friend that would love this card!

Those tulips are so lovely any day, any time of the year! They're especially pretty displayed in the postage mug. I love how you've made the center panel embossed and added the colored strip at the lower edge. A beautiful card, Loll!
