Clean and Simple Penny Black

I bought this Penny Black stamp in Farnborough at the last Make It show. I'm really fond of poppies and I love script stamps, so this was a real winner in my eyes.
Here I coloured it in shades of red and grey using Distress Inks. Simply mounted with a Personal Impressions sentiment on a simple ribbon treatment, it's a clean and simple card.
We had lunch with friends today at local hotel and it was lovely... no clearing up either!

    It's the grey that makes this special - less stark than black. Mandi's comment made me laugh, but if you'd said it one more time I would've started to wonder...! Vx

    Oh I do so love PB!! I was lucky to win a 15% lifetime discount to PBStamps earlier in the year but I've been incredibly good and not used it yet! Beautiful card Chrissie, and yes, I'm very happy to be back in the land of crafting again.

    Hugs
