Penny Black Production Line...

I have a fab group of crafting buddies, united by our love of Penny Black stamps, and for Easter I've made them each a little card...of course featuring a Penny Black stamp! As there were 15 to make, I kept them quite simple...using the same layout and colour scheme for each. As there are several challenges with an Easter theme at the moment, I'm going to enter these for: the Penny Black Saturday Challenge; the Creative Card Crew Challenge; the Stamp Something Challenge; the Our Creative Corner Challenge; and the Everybody Art Challenge.


I used the largest scalloped circle Nestie to make the card blank (using thinner card than normal, as it needed to cut through two layers at once), the next layer was embossed with the Cuttlebug 'Swiss Dots' folder, then topped with the image matted on to another scalloped circle. I've used three different pastel colours of card, in various different combinations, for a little variation.
I don't have any specific Easter stamps, but have a couple of Penny Blacks with bunnies and chickens on, so have used those. Here are a couple of close ups of the two different images:

This image is a section of the 'Bunny Friends' stamp (I masked off three of the bunnies before stamping, as there just wasn't room for them on the card! lol

This image is called 'Totally Excited'...I love the look on the chicken's face!

Hopefully, I've not spoiled the surprise...and that you've received your cards today...but you never know with Royal Mail! lol
