Baby Card/ Penny Black Challenge


My friend in Stratford on Avon has a grandaughter who will be one next week, so I have been playing with baby cards. I dug out one of the "Penny Black" stamps and triple stamped it then used these as decoupage. (I love this effect). The papers are from "Basic Grey" "Two Scoops" cut using the "Cuttlebug". the ribbon is some from the stash that I thought went quite well?

I really enjoy this type of card. I have just been over to the Penny Black Challenge Blog and the challenge is "Dotty"!!! Well as the background has dots on I'm going to enter!!! The only problem is that after looking at at all the others I feel my is a little plain, but hay ho! we all start somewhere!!
