Hi everyone, a card for Penny Black Saturday where the challenge is to use only a sentiment stamp but no image and also for Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge where there's a lovely sketch by Wendy to follow. I've used Basic Grey Wassail papers (which I've been hoarding!) for the squares and strip at the bottom, these are layered on white and dark red bazzil and gold pearlised card cut with various nestability dies. The bottom strip of gold is cut with the my scalloped cutter blade and looking at it now I wish I'd punched some holes or something as I think it looks a bit bland. I added white ribbon, Imaginisce poinsettia flowers highlighted with stickles and the gem to finish. TFL.
Back soon,
Chris
