Penny Black Favorite Flowers birthday card


Hello everyone and welcome to another challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More.


This time we are looking for anything you can use to make your mark. Paints, alcohol markers, coloured pencils, ink - the world's your oyster. I went with watercolour for my card.


I used the floral arrangement from Penny Black's Favorite Flowers stamp and die set, stamped in Toffee Crunch ink. I coloured with Sakura Koi watercolours and then die cut the flowers. I wasn't happy with a couple of the small flowers and made the mistake of going back in to try and improve them. Bad idea! The whole thing almost went in the bin until I thought of covering the mistake with the sentiment, and I think it worked.


My talented DT friends have some great inspiration for you over on the ATSM blog, and it would be great to see your entry in the gallery.

I'd like to play along at







Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs,
Carol x

Beautiful card and coloring!

This is so pretty. I am really glad you didn't bin it as that would have been a waste and a real shame. There is usually a solution somewhere and you found it. Well done. I love the unusual white on white frame too xx
