This month's Mix-It-Up Challenge at Essentials by Ellen is a bit extra-challenging for me because I don't have a lot of Penny Black stamps in my stash. However, the one I do have is a well-loved and often used stamp called Bridal March. It is perfect for quick wedding cards.
I stamped the bride in black ink, clear embossed and then painted with pink shimmer paint from Zig Pearlescent Watercolor Jewel Box.
I used a Spectrum Noir DR3 Marker to add red highlights to the image featuring colors from Retro Rubber Feel the Love Challenge.
I finished with a sentiment from Essentials by Ellen 12 Days Companion Greetings using a layout from Freshly Made Sketches.
WOW!!! I LOVE how you used this PB stamp. The fun highlights, the papers, the colors-just STUNNING!!!!
