I have owned this Penny Black stamp for a very long time but I've not used it for quite a long time.  I am so glad that I didn't donate it to a charity shop.

I tried something new with this stamp by inking up the individual parts with Versafine Clair Pinecone, Green Oasis and Glamorous ink pads any added  Sweet Dixie High Gloss Crystal Clear embossing powder.  I stamped the sentiment with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink pad, no embossing powder.  

I coloured the stamped and embossed images with watercolours.   I then inked up the rest of the card with Evergreen Bough and Fossilised Amber.  I sprayed the card with water to diffuse the inks.

I embossed a piece of card with one of my Creative Expressions 3D embossing folders and attached the trim.   I layered my die cut flowers and adhered them in place.  My final touch was to add the Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops. 

I love how this end result!  I have not heat embossed my Penny Black stamp images before, only the sentiments.  I will be playing with them and my Versafine Clair ink pads some more.  Back soon x
