Penny Black Challenge and ABC Challenge 'E' Embossing


I really like this card, it gave me great pleasure to put together. I began with this gorgeous Penny Black stamp which I bought from 1-2-3 Stitch, together with the ones I won a few weeks ago. I used the same colour throughout and managed to find different products which matched perfectly.
The ribbon is from Anita, the ink is Papermania, the backing paper is Cuddly Buddly and the plain sparkly green is from my stash. I cut the image & mount with Nesties and used a Fiskars punch for the border. The embossing at the bottom is with a Cuttlebug border folder.
For the Penny Black Challenge we had to include buttons and bows, I'm afraid I have only one bow, but with the help of my bow maker it does look neat!

    I bought that set of Cuttlebug borders specifically for the buttons, yet I have never used it! Love how you used it on this very pretty card :)
