This month the theme at Penny Black at Allsorts
http://pennyblackatallsorts.blogspot.com/ is "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and you have the chance to win some fantastic Penny Black stamps every week in the month of December. Why not pop over and check out the full details and see the lovely stamps.
For my card I decided to use a different shape so I cut out the centre of a square card ( back and front). I used a Martha Stewart punch to make my borders and stuck them to the card before covering it with some gorgeous designer paper. I cut three die cut shapes and layered them up. I water coloured my Penny Black image in colours to co-ordinate with my paper and mounted it with foam pads before sticking it to the centre of my card. I just love this image and thought she was so apt for the theme. I inked four white flowers with purple ink and added pearls to the centres. I also used two white flowers and added metal flowers and pearl brads to the centres. I punched out brown leaves and arranged the whole lot around the top of my card.
I so love this card and feel I do not want to part with it.
As usual I have entered a few challenges which are listed below.
