Penny Black Saturday Challenge

It's a Colour Scheme challenge this week over at PBSC, and i have to say one of my favourite combo's of Pink & Brown...........just love those two colours together!
So without further ado, i set about gathering my supplies to create this card........had an idea in mind....... but i've been a bit of a numpty and chosen exactly the same image as last week!!!!!!

However, i think my one saving grace is that it does look quite different today, and i guess that's the best thing about stamping.........it's very versatile!

I've used more fabulous papers from the 'Bittersweet' 6 x 6 pad, along with a page from my Making Memories spiral notebook, onto which i've stamped the gorgeous 'Andante'. The image has been inked with Adirondack 'espresso' and Sea Brights 'bikini pink' and then lightly spritzed with water before placing down on the paper, which gives more of a 'watercolour' look.

I made my butterfly by punching twice with a Woodware punch and then adding a tiny gem for the body, ribbons are from stash and the rub-on is Letraset.

Unfortunately, in poor lighting this paper looks black, but to the naked eye it is a real rich dark chocolate brown, the photo's never seem to do it justice somehow...........

Thanks for popping in today, i'm off for a browse around the blogosphere now........see you soon

Hugs ;-D
