PENNY BLACK - LETTERS & FLOWERS

When I chose this stamp from the catalogue I could see the possibilities and I must admit I am rather pleased with the end result.

Using a sepia ink I stamped the image onto a dull gold coloured piece of cardstock.  When trying new stamps I always reach for the scrap paper purchased from Deckle Edge.  It was so cheap that if I make a mess of it I have no qualms in tossing it into the bin.  I coloured the flowers in with a SU marker - Crushed Curry and sponged around the image with Distress ink.  I then put the image onto another piece of card (light gold) and finished it off with the SU border punch in brown.  The background stamp is En Francais from SU and the sentiment is also SU.
