| Hello Sweet Friends,How are you? I am happy to bring you two cards that are being featured on The Penny Black Blog today. The card on the right is the more simple version of my first card using this brushstroke background stamp from Penny Black. For the card on the left I stamped the “Hearts All Over” with StazOn Teal Blue on white card-stock. I added more color to the hearts by coloring them with Copic markers. |
 |
| Five coats of Glossy Accents we applied to four of the hearts (after coloring all of the hearts).You must wait for each coat to dry completely before adding the next layer so plan ahead 🙂 When you are satisfied with your hearts dimension add a final layer of Crackle Accents. I hope you get a chance to try this. The dimension is so cool with the multi layers. |
 |
| The background sentiment is from this transparent set & was stamped with this ink, then embossed with Clear Embossing powder. (The idea was for the words on the background card stock to be shinny like the hearts on the front.) |
 |
| Using a spellbinder circle I die cut a hole on scrap paper that fit my card base. Stamp on top of the open area with this ink centering one of the hearts in the open area. After the ink dries color the center heart and the area around the heart. Apply Crackle Accents to the heart and let dry. (On this card I skipped the multi layers so it was super fast to create.) Don’t forget to stamp your sentiment with the teal ink. |
 |
| I was tempted to rub the hearts with some red ink to stain the cracks but, didn’t want to make them to prominent. I hope you are enjoying seeing two cards on each post and I say it all the time but, I mean it each time too. Thanks so much for your visit. Hugs, Kathy |

beautiful colors, as usual, Kathy! 🙂 I was wondering how you did with those hearts, and read your how-to! wow, Never have tried this. It looks like JELLO on the picture! lol Looks very “yummy” 🙂 Luv inside of the card, too, and shape of circle! 🙂
WOW!! AMAZING card, Kathy! The colors are fabulous and what a fun technique with the layering of Glossy Accents – sooo cool! Just love this gorgeous card!

Such deep rich colours. Beautiful.
this is super cool!
Those hearts look good enough to eat!!!!!
WOW!! This is FABULOUS!
Wow- totally love the BOLD colors here- love the crackle hearts too!
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! I love the idea of layering the glossy accents. It really looks like one of those gelly stickers. Fantastic effect.
I love seeing the way you make two cards – one simpler than the other. The colours are just stunning in both projects & it’s very interesting to see how different the second one looks without the addition of red. The dimensional aspect of the hearts with your layering of Glossy Accents & Crackle accents I so effective & really suits the brushstroke markings of the stamped image. The ribbon bow is so luxurious in the first & in the second it is the placing of your sentiment that really catches my atttention for the eye is drawn into the circle by reading it & then just follows upwards to that central heart.
