The challenge is always Anything Penny Black Goes, with an optional theme, which is Flowers. I'm using one of Jill Foster's sketches from "Permission to Play" - video #10. I LOVE the Posted stamp and had a lot of fun making this card. I can see me using it a lot for Christmas cards too. :) Thanks again Jill!
The background is Seaglass card stock (Simon Says Stamp), dry embossed with Noted (65-005) from Penny Black. I used Salvaged Patina ink to add a little colour over the raised design.
The postage outline is stamped in Shadow Gray Archival ink. The inside border was masked off before stamping the daisies from Blooms 31-064 (Penny Black) in black pigment ink. I watercoloured using Distress Re-inkers. The image is die-cut using the matching die, Posted Cut out (51-778) and then I stamped the cancelled stamp in more of the Shadow Gray ink, popping up the panel over the embossed background. Fun, easy card to make.

I've been following those Permission to Play videos too Loll, some great inspiration there, even if I prefer to use my Copics for characters. I love the postage stamp stamp and die, keep looking out for it but always out of stock, so others must feel the same. A great card and very summery. Hope your recovery is continuing well. :)
Super card, Loll. I love the shape of the die cut image.

Congratulations on being a Penny Black guest designer! Lovely card in a great combination of colours! I love the way you did the background by embossing on coloured cardstock and going over it with a bit of ink. The postage stamp theme is perfect with a script background!
How beautiful those daisies look on that postage stamp, Loll! You card is fabulous. I love the blue with the soft script and sponging added. Happy and honored to be guesting along with you this month.
Congratulations on guest designer Loll and what a fabulous job you did! Love that postage stamp as well as your usual incredible coloring. Love that background script too- something I often forget to use.
Blue and orange is one of my most favourite colour combinations Loll, and I love the way you added the blue ink to highlight the embossed script, and the stamped and coloured daisy/cone flowers with the postage stamp edge looks fantastic over the top. x
