Penny Black


Something a bit different today. While searching for a particular stamp I rediscovered a couple of Penny Black floral stamps I have. 
Using some odd bits of a Kaiser Pack I made this sort of vintage style card.
I used the Floral Oval from Spellbinders  and apart from the paper piecing the flowers that was pretty much it.

Lace and ribbon to make a vintage statement and then I cut the Penny Black Best Wishes die twice once in cream and once in the red. This was so the cream words would overlap the red and help it stand out against the cream oval.


Fingers crossed Mr Blogger is being kind and post this schedule post.
