My first Penny Black card!


I created this card for 3 challenges:

Penny Black Challenge #67- lace and pearls
Flutter by Wednesday #76- a fairy or butterfly and flowers
Midnight Madness Sketch #20

My blogging friend Stephanne sent me some Penny Black stamps. She is so sweet! I think she wanted someone to share her addiction, it didn't take much! I actually bought this image. Isn't it cute! I colored them with Copic Markers. The other stamp is Autumn Leaves. The papers are Doodlebug. I punched out the butterflies and added Dazzling Diamonds to them along with the centers of the flowers. I added ribbon, lace and pearls. I used the fabulous sketch at Midnight madness. Thanks for stopping by!
