Penny Black Saturday Challenge - Focus On The Verse

Happy Saturday.  It's the first Saturday of the month, so it's time for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge.  The optional theme this month is 'Focus on the verse.' 

I wanted to use this vertically long verse, so I went with a slimline card.

Penny Black stamp links:

Magnolia Rhapsody 40-535

Gifts From Above 30-429

Special Thoughts 30-338

I started with a 7 1/2 x 7 1/2" panel of pale pink card stock, and folded it it half to create a slimline card.  I placed the card in my Misti, along with the Magnolia Rhapsody stamp.  To 'ink' the stamp, I used Tombow dual brush markers.  I added color to the petals first, adding different shades as I colored.  I misted with fine mist of water between color applications.  Not too much water, as this is just card stock, not watercolor paper.

I moved on to the green for the leaves, then the branches, adding different shades and misting as above.

I inked the verse from the Gifts From Above set with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink, and stamped it along the top left of the card.

Some ink spatters and tiny sequins finish the card front.

Inside, I stamped portions of the flowers along the top and right edge, and a verse from the Special Thoughts set.

I hope you enjoyed my card.  Won't you join us in this challenge?  You just might be our lucky winner of a lovely gift voucher to our sponsor, 1,2,3 Stitch!  I'll be looking for your card on the PB Saturday Challenge blog!
