Penny Black Challenge!


At Penny Black this week, the challenge is to use a Penny Black stamp to make a background... and here it is. The dragonfly is a stamp from Katzelkraft (part of my birthday gifts from Mandi) and the the inks used were Razzleberry and Almost Amethyst... I think!
We had a dinner party last night..well only the main course was held at our house... the starter and the dessert were at different neighbours, I must confess it does take a bit of stress away to only have to prepare one course!

    Hi Chrissie,

    what a gorgeous card, what a beautiful colors you've used on the background and those dandelions in white and dark purple match so perfectly. Elegant dragonfly too with his glittery wings.
    Wowie!
