Marj was busy at Art 'n Soul today. She made this card using one of the new Magenta stamps that we have in stock. Marj noted that many stampers are sometimes hesitant to use a solid stamp design; they're wonderful to use and easy to use if you're using the right medium.

| Magenta Stamp 48.005.O |

| by Marj Marion |
- Magenta Stamp
- Distress Markers applied directly to stamp, spritz with water and stamp, spritz again and stamp again, spritz again and stamp again
- Penny Black "Letter Background" Stamp (1999L) inked random sections with Shabby Shutters Distress Markers
- 140 lb. cold press watercolor paper card stock
- Wide ribbon 'knot' technique -- very easy and quick
There was some prep involved by Marj to prepare for her "Penny Black" demo offer at the store today.
And then she worked her magic! Look at these card tops featuring these wonderful Penny Black stamps . . .

Was it coincidental that I find a Facebook posting by Penny Black showcasing another stamp

This is the link to Birgit's blog . . .
And then on Penny Black's blog, this wonderful card by Angela Kennedy. I love this stamp and I'm going to have to add it to my pink sheet order.

Tomorrow night I'm going to Auburn Riverside High School to see the musical "All Shook Up". I've heard the kids sing 25 Elvis songs throughout the play. I don't think I'll be sitting still!
