I used a Penny Black 'Red Tango' Stamp, isn't it gorgeous !!



For this first one I stamped and masked the flowers and then inked a script stamp with a new Simon's Smoke Grey Ink Pad, I then removed some ink from the edges to give a rounded softer look.


Next up is a traditional poppy red one :-) Which one do you prefer ?



So now it's YOUR turn ! Happy Crafting !!

Two lovely cards with another fabulous Penny black image! I'm so blown away at how their stamps seem to make such stunning cards and I love that you took the same wonderful design and make two different cards -- both equally lovely.

It's been so fun to be a guest this week and I'll continue to look forward to being in the role for the month of May!!

Happy Crafting and keep up the beautiful work!
