I used to love penny black stamps, the ones on wooden blocks , that cost a fortune and took up so much room. I still have quite a few left and the one I used today is one of them.
Over the past couple of years I got into "groovi " and parchment craft .....ooh dear ...so much stuff ...so little space ...
This card, is like the cards I used to make , in fact I could make them like this standing on my head , but I think it's pretty and has a nice simplicity . The wooden stamp is by Penny Black and called "poppy poem" , coloured with promakers . The stripy background is a hobby arts stamp , I took the wood block off ( the stripy stamp ) and used my stamp press , several times with a blue memento ink,so much better results than with a wooden block . I matted and layered and added a flat bow and 3 gems.
The reason I make cutie cards , lots of work and colouring in , because they are so much fun but sometimes a change does us good.

A pretty card Jane, a lovely stamp. I never was much of a stamper, I do have lots of stamps though - I always think I will use them but rarely do! I love to play with paper, I'm really into Graphic 45 and Stamperia at the moment - the only trouble is I have to buy a new paper pad to replace the one I am using and that's not always possible with Graphic 45.
