Two for the price of one



The Penny Black Challenge #123 has this great sketch. The Just Us Girls Challenge #55-Color Challenge-is to use the colors black, cream and kraft. I couldn't make up my mind which Penny Black stamp to use so I made 2 cards! These should make good sympathy cards. The papers are from a paper stack from Die Cuts with a View. I embossed the images and the saying with black embossing powder. The saying is StampinUp. I added the ribbon. I think that I like the sheer black one the best. Hope that everyone is having a great weekend. Hubby and I went to see Secretariet tonight. It was a pretty good movie. Thanks for stopping by!

  5. Both of these cards are stunning!! I love those stamps, especially the tree, I have seen it on many designs and it appears to be so very versatile!!

    The horizontal strips of patterned paper along the bottom of each card almost looked flocked.

    Nice job. Good luck in the challenge.
