Today's card uses a Penny Black stamp I've been eyeing for quite a while that just arrived on my doorstep yesterday. I'm such a fan of Penny Black florals - they make me so happy! I decided to play with this week's SCS sketch challenge and cut into the Noteworthy paper by Making Memories that I've been hoarding the last couple months. I started by stamping Aspire on Pearlized White Cardstock with Ancient Page Coal Black. I then colored with Copic markers and highlighted with a little Stardust Stickles. Next I matted on Purely Pomegranate and used my Scor-Pal to add a little embossed frame to the image. The card base and the horizontal strip are Soft Sky card stock stamped wiht French Flair in the same color ink. The patterned paper is from the Noteworthy Collection and I tied a Pomegranate satin knotted bow around the top edge. The baubles are some clear cheapos from Michael's that I colored with my Copics to match the card. I finished by stamping the May All Your Wishes Come True from the Wonderful Wishes Remixed set in Purely Pomegranate in the corner.

Gorgeous card! Everything you do seems so effortless...because you are an awesome stamper, thats why >"< I was at Jan Marie's last night (flourishes) and we spent some time talking about you {all great things} we both think you are a real person & think how awesome you are by doing a new sketch everyweek! Just had to share with you that people think you are great.
I just loved the design. I don't have the stamps, but love the idea, so I will be using your idea for my card. I also love the colors. I just love your blog. Now I have ot go check out those Penny Black Stamps.
Such a beautiful card, with all of those 'distinctive' Julee touches. I love the scored frame on the main image. Its little details like this that set you apart from others in my mind!
