This is a card I've made for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge 14th May, Clean and Simple. Being new to blogging I'm hoping I can post a link to this page before the next challenge gets posted tomorrow. This is a treble challenge for me as I tend to do cluttered and complicated most of the time but hopefully I've met the challenge half way. I also don't do colouring very well. The stamped image I've used is from the Penny Black Margaret Sherry Collection 1664J - Squeeze 'til I Squeak and it was stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured using Promarkers.
The base card is a white 14.85cm square card.

Blue card from W Enterprises, Aberdeen
Yellow card from stash plus bright yellow scraps for daisy centres

Top Tips for this card would be
Emboss your card before you cut it to size for layering as embossing causes the card to stretch.
Daisies can be customised to match your project by sponging ink over the tips. If you like a bit of sparkle then go around the edges afterwards with a Sakura clear glitter pen.
