Penny Black

Good morning I am back again.....I am glad to report I am feeling much better.
 My card this time uses a Penny Black stamp "Letter and Daisy" I decided to emboss this with silver EP and just coloured the flower with promarkers , my backing paper is from Pink Petticoat, added a bit of faux stitching. the die cut leaves are Marianne creatables "Branch Forrest". I have been saving to get it and couldn't wait to use it. The rest is my stash. I hope you like it.xxx

I am entering this into
Penny Black at Allsorts "Say it with Flowers"
Tuesday Throwdown "Stitching"
Papertake Weekly "Anything Goes + Flowers"
Digital Tuesday "Shades of Grey+ one other"
Top Tip Tuesday "Anything Girly"
I Love Promarkers "Anything Goes"

Hi Doreen! THis is FABULOUS! And I love your blog background, is it new? Or is it my sister's widescreen PC that I'm using today? lol. Anyway I love it. It looks like the artwork of William Morris.
