Oh my goodness! Fabulous cards! How I wish I could watercolor like you……I am trying! My cards usually look like a 2nd grade student colored them! 😂. I’ve placed my order for some of these stamps; I love the little birds. They could be saying all sorts of things to each other via sentiments. Thanks for sharing another great video

[@PennyBlackInc]

Have fun and thank you so much for your order! :) And I totally agree with you about the birds!

[@laraclardy4301]

I would use the background basic stencils for a look I havent done yet

[@PennyBlackInc]

So glad to hear that, Shari!

I have not used the background basics stencil but I would love a set. Love all of the cards particularly the watering can one & the one with the wreath style centre. However it is truly hard to pick a fave

This is so pretty 😊

[@mpbailey18]

Wonderful video...beautiful cards! My question is coming from a non watercolor artist...just a card maker... what would be the difference between stamping the image & THEN doing the stencil background painting afterwards? Doing the stencil background after spending so much time painting the image would make me incredibly nervous!

[@PennyBlackInc]

Great question, you could definitely do the stencil background first, especially if you are planning to ink with a neutral color that will go with whatever you plan to paint/color. :)

[@mpbailey18]

@@PennyBlackInc Thanks!

[@janinequinn2948]

Hi there Jill, I love watching you create your beautiful cards. I too use distress re-inkers, and love it. Could I ask about the Canson watercolour card you use you please? I was wondering if it’s hot press or cold press, and how white the card is? The card I’m currently using is quite creamy in colour, but I’m trying to find a lovely white card. Thanks Jill. X Janine (UK)

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks so much for watching and for your kind words. The Canson I use is cold press. It is not perfectly bright white, but isn't too creamy looking if it isn't next to bright white paper to compare it to side by side. (Hope that makes sense!) :) Happy stamping!

[@janinequinn2948]

@@PennyBlackInc Thank you so much for replying Jill. Yes what you’ve said totally makes sense…thank you. X

[@AudreyRomney]

These cards are stunning, I didn’t know there were such stencils, I need them. The stamps are gorgeous. I want to order some products, do I go to Penny Black or is there another source to get the products

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks, Audrey! You can order from our site (products are listed in KZbin description above) or many retailers also carry our products. :) Happy creating!

[@hemjoo]

Could you share what card bases you use? Is it the same wc paper or something else? I have trouble with it since the wc paper is usually not white in colour like the Neenah card stock

[@PennyBlackInc]

Thanks for your question, I don't mind the card base being different texture or slightly different color than the watercolor so I typically use Neenah Solar White cardstock. Happy creating!

[@karenpulice3970]

What kinds of ink can be used?

[@maryhutchinson5730]

I love, love, love Penny Black stamps. However, I wonder why they make the stamps so large for a 5 x 7 cards that require extra postage and the envelopes cost more? Most people send the regular 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 cards? I'm always disappointed when I want to buy some of your stamps and I see the stamps are so large for my 4 x 5 cards.

[@longlivedemocracy756]

In general, Mailing a 5x7 card doesn’t cost more postage than a A2 card unless you have added extra embellishments. I made 5x7 cards often for specialty orders and it isn’t more to mail. I do actually prefer to make A2 cards, but many people are used to buying larger cards in the store and would always ask me to make them 5x7. I actually like that the stamps can be used on different size cards. You could also use on slimline, mini slimline and shaped cards. I think it makes them more versatile. You can still use them on A2 size cards. You don’t always have to stamp the entire image on the card. There are many card makers who show this technique. Even when Jill showcased the first two cards with the A2 & A7, I thought that showed that you can use that stamp use that stamp on multiple size cards.

[@maryhutchinson5730]

You've actually given me ideas now that I know the postage isn't more. So, can you add any layers to the cards, or does it have to be just one sheet of 5 x 7 cardstock that's been folded in half (a 10 x 7 to begin with)? @@longlivedemocracy756
