The Penny black stamps I'm using on this project is Big Ben wood stamp and Words Express transparent stamp set.

a photo sleeve pocket card 

camera shaped pocket with camera strap 

I also tried making a step-by-step with pictures tutorial for this, and i hope it's clear enough, since this is my first tutorial i made :) Please ask question whenever you feel my instruction looks confusing :D

You can put elements on the card or arrange the sentiments by yourself. 

If you notice that i flip the camera pocket ,it's because when i tried to hold the shutter i realized that it should on my right hand. hehe :D 

I'm also so happy today because Penny Black just release a new collection of stamps!!

Colored Pencils and Watercolors cards

Hi friends !

This week is Technique week at Penny Black blog. The designers were asked to make projects using different technique or media. Today i'm going to share how i use Penny Black stamps with Color pencils and Watercolors.

For Color pencils, i really love how their colors stands out on kraft paper. I am going to make a lot of tags for my students, because using color pencils definitely help me on the budget (compared to Copics). Tips : use white color pencil to highlight some part of the image, or make accent. 

Supplies Penny black Word to the wise  stamp, A Scholar stamp,Color Pencils, The Twinery, Kraft card stock

I still have 19 tags to work on !

For watercolors, Penny Black has the BEST stamp image to go with. If i am using watercolors, i definitely will pick stamp image with more details. Once its colored, there's no need to add another embellishment or details, just adhere the picture to a coordinating color card stock .

When coloring, i prefer to make not-so-smooth color blends, to show the highlights

Supplies Penny black Fly Away

Hope you like what i share today :) and don't forget to see my designer friends projects on Penny Black blog 

and  leave them some love ^^
