Vintage Penny Black

Sometimes I go so long between blog posts that I almost forget how. I have had a busy few weeks and not much time for crafting. I did have sometime yesterday though and I made a bunch of cards for our local Humane Society who is having a craft sale. In between making doggie Christmas cards, I spotted this wonderful Penny Black stamp sitting on my shelf and decided to make a quick holiday card. I'm pretty sure that I bought this stamp 10 years ago and I still love it.

The image is gold embossed on some Webster's Pages paper, matted to some blue polka dotted paper (digital) and then sewn onto a pink card. I sponged all of the panels with Distress inks before assembling the card. To make the bow I tied a single bow, used the ends to tie a second bow and then looped the ends under to make a third bow. I then stitched it in the middle to hold everything in place. Clear as mud? LOL!


I am looking forward to a wonderful weekend including shopping for winter clothes with my daughter tomorrow afternoon and then STAMP CLUB at my friend Rebecca's house tomorrow night. YES, I'm shouting! LOL! I am so excited!

Have a great weekend. :-)

    Barbara, I love the soft, vintage feel of this holiday card! I don't know why I never thought to stamp on top of patterned paper. Thanks for the inspiration!
