This is a Penny Black stamp. The saying is a digital stamp. It doesn't show up as well as I would like it. It was a free stamp by Nettie. The yellow panel was ran through a Tim Holtz embossing folder and the other paper is Frances Meyer and Reminisce. I distressed the some of the panels by sponging brown ink on the edges. The punch is Martha Stewart and I added a brown ribbon. I didn't want to add much bling or flowers since it is for a guy!
