Brown can be pretty!


The challenge at the Penny Black Challenge #97 was to use monochromatic brown. After using all of the pretty Spring colors, this was quite a bit of a challenge. It helps using a cute Penny Black image colored with Copic markers. The saying is Stampabilities. The background music stamp is Stampabilities also. I used the more simple sketch at the Midnight Madness Challenge #49. I added a polka dot ribbon. Thanks for stopping by!

  11. Julia-you are right...brown can be pretty. You have proved that right here with your very pretty card. I just happen to be working with this color today myself. Your image is just so sweet and colored magnificently. Great job with the sketch. Thank you for playing along with us this week at the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge.
