Penny Black Summer Memories

Image
By sparklingblackrose
Good afternoon everyone, hope you are well :-) Here I am with a Penny Black card from my challenge to myself to use my existing stash. I have had these stamps for years but I have been too daunted by colouring them, but I am so glad that I dug them out and had a play and intend to use them more now :-) I coloured the image with Promarkers and Flexmarkers, and cut round this with my nestie. I placed it on coredinations card cut with a scalloped nestie. Next I used Bo Bunny Country Garden papers, with Polka dot ribbons from Fantastic Ribbons, Butterflies and a Butterfly border cut with Memory box dies out of glitter card as embellishments. I added three complimenting buttons, gems and a vellum greeting on a mat of paper and coredinations card.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
Forever Friends: Anything Goes
Inky Impressions: Animals
The Paper Shelter: Anything Goes
Whimsy Inspires: Anything Goes
Gingerloft: Stitching Real or Faux ( Faux stitches paper)
Robyns Challenge: Stitching Real or Faux
Sentimental Sundays 3, 2, 1 (Butterflies and Buttons 3, Ribbon 2, Image 1)
Totally Gorjuss: Punches and Dies

Thank you for looking and for all your lovely comments :-)
