I haven't felt up to par today, so I'm staying home. It's just as well since we had freezing rain last night and it's still dreary and, I suppose, slick too. Anyway, I've been laying low and "Pinteresting" from the couch. In doing so, I happened to run across a pin that I had posted to my "Card Making Inspiration" board quite a while back. I had seen this Penny Black “Joyful Noise” stamp on someone else's board from this site sometime before Christmas. I loved it and ordered the stamp on line.
I admired her end result so much that I wanted to recreate
it. She had used Distress re-inkers, though, and I don’t own any of those. However, I do have plenty of
Copic markers, so I played around with them, testing the colors to match hers as
closely as possible. Here's a photo of my
version. Sorry it's a little blurry (oops!). Mom had admired the stamp even before I colored it in, so this card accompanied her Christmas gift.
For any of you card-crafters and/or scrapbookers who are interested, this is the “recipe” of
