Rowhouse Greetings – Nancy Sheads

HEY FRIENDS! Rushing in with another card featuring stamps and dies from the new Love Travels release by Penny Black. Here’s another card featuring the Sweeties stamp set. I love this image and just had to color it.

Why am I rushing? Well — I volunteered to make cookies for all the staff and residents at my parents’ assisted living facility for Valentine’s Day. AND I’m make some Valentine themed Disney mouse ornaments for all the residents. What was I thinking when I said I’d do this?!? But really — the staff and residents loved the cookies and ornaments I made at Christmas so the time and effort is worthwhile. But now I’m getting down to the wire with only half the cookies baked and a third of the ornaments completed. So back to the kitchen (and studio) to get everything done!

In the meantime, here’s today’s card!

Today’s Project

Featured Card Supplies

• * Sweeties (31-188) by Penny Black [ SBC | SSS ]
• * Sweeties Cut Out (51-967) by Penny Black [ SBC | SSS ]
• * Heart to Heart (51-957) by Penny Black [ SBC | SSS ]
• * You & Me (31-182) by Penny Black [ SBC | SSS ]
• * You & Me Cut Out (51-963) by Penny Black [ SBC | SSS ]
• Baroque Embossing Folder (65-024) by Penny Black [ SBC | SSS ]

It’s a little hard to see in the photo, but I used the Baroque embossing folder to create texture on what would have been a waste piece from the Heart to Heart die cut. I inked the actual die cut with Distress Ink in Worn Lipstick to give it a little color against the white background of the embossed die cut and card base. The sentiment is from the You & Me stamp set and I used the coordinating dies to cut it out. Then I assembled the layers as shown.

Card Directions

First, I stamped the image from the Sweeties stamp set on OLO Marker Blending Paper using Memento Ink in Tuxedo Black. Then I colored the image with Copic markers (see list) and then cut the image using the coordinating Sweeties Cut Out dies. Afterwards, I applied foam adhesive square to the back of the image and set it aside to work on the background.

I cut the Posted die cut from a piece of Accent Opaque White cardstock. Then I cut a second piece from the stamp cardstock 2-3/8″ x 3-1/4″ and stamped the sentiment from the Sweet Rose stamp set using Versafine Clair Ink in Nocturne.

For the card base, I cut another piece of Accent Opaque White cardstock to 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″ and stamped the background image from the Dainty Daisies stamp set about an inch from the bottom using Distress Ink in Lumberjack Plaid.

Finally I assembled the layers as shown.

That’s all for today!
