Penny Black














Love the colour combo on Penny black pink and brown is definitely on of my favourites. I have used a penny black stamped image from ebay, so don't know what its called. Coloured with copics cant say I like them very much, keep having a go with them but always go back to pencils ,its what you get used to I guess. I have a huge box of scraps of paper and card so one of the things I have decided is to start and use some of them up, it seems very wasteful sometimes I have only taken a little bit off a whole sheet and then I stick it in my scraps box.Today I have used scraps of pink and brown bazzil,punched pink with Martha Stewart doily punch even cut nestie circles from scraps, paper is PM Simply Elegant,banner ,jewel and other bits from stash.
