Penny Black Collage in Pink

Hello friends - thanks for stopping by today!   For my card today I have used one of the spare kits from my Card Design Class but changed the colours - it is always surprising to see the different look that this achieves.

You can see the original card here.  I have changed from the blues to the soft look of pink with a touch of yellow on the Penny Black Inc butterfly suite image.   The image has been cut using the Labels Twenty-Nine Spellbinders™ Nestabilities®, using the Spellbinders Grand Calibur® Machine.

A stamped lace border from the Penny Black Inc lace delight stamp set has also been added using Tsukineko Versafine Ink.  Colour has been added using Tsukineko Inks and a Dauber

Finishing off with some twine, which is actually Crochet/ Knitting Cotton and a recycled button.
