Something simple

I do not normally do something simple, but I have tried for the challenges I am entering this card for.



The sentiment is a favourite of mine, and I was delighted to find it in the Penny Black range of stamps.   So, a sentiment, some ribbon and a red rose, with some black punched leaves.   The black card has a slight shimmer to it.  Funnily enough, I quite like the look of the whole card, so will probably try the idea again!



This card is being entered for the following challenges:

Thanks for stopping by.  I really appreciate your comments.

  10. Hi Val
    I've just been having a lovely catch up at what you've been up too. I have two cats who munch my ornamental grasses, they always look at bit dog eared nowadays!! Your roses are gorgeous. I have lots of ordinary varieties but have just indulged in a David Austin with some Christmas money I'd got stashed!! I can't wait for it to flower.
    Your Paris card is beautiful, I love the stamping and this sentiment is perfect, it doesn't need anything else does it.
