Penny Black Flying Stars

I am excited about this new Penny Black stamp that I will be introducing on Monday's sale.
I thought it was a good choice for Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simply Friday Challenge. We were to use blue and green for the colors and also do some paper piercing on it. You can read about it here:

I stamped the Penny Black Flying Stars stamp on white card stock and colored it with my Copic markers. I have found the Versafine Ink tends to bleed if you do much blending, so I am anxiously awaiting my new Memento Ink that should be here Monday. It has been on back order for some time, so I am thrilled that it is finally coming.

After the Ink was dry, I turned it over and used my Elegant Ornare Stencil and pierced each corner. I love these corners because you can line up both sides to make sure it is even. It is so easy to do. (you do it from the back of the paper to get a nice look)

Then I used a piercing tool and added a dab of Flower Soft Glue on the Stigma of the flower. Then I lightly added some Delphinium Blue Flower soft for extra texture. Some sparkle was needed so I used my Gelly Roll pen to add just a dot on several of the ends of the flowers.

I used my Bow Easy to make my bow, added some bling with Kaiser Rhinestones and I was done.

Sorry for the blue cast (it is white card stock), but no matter how much I edied the photo, I could not elimate the blue cast.
