The Penny Black image is one of my favorite stamps to use for a two toned flower. I inked it with daffodil and used a sponge dauber to add the concord, then a marker for the stem. The BG panel is smackin acetate, made by scribbling daffodil and pear markers on a piece of acetate, misting with water, then laying the white cs on it. I stamped french script with concord, after stamping it off once and attached it to the pearl layer. The flower was cut with a Nestabilities petite oval die and popped up with foam tape. I added the concord ribbon and a PTI button, tied with the narrow daffodil taffeta ribbon, which my sweet friend Nancy Littrell sent me as a gift. Two brads were added and everything was placed on a white base. This qualifies for the color challenge and one of the DTGD10 challenges.

I have always loved this beautiful image. The scriped BG is another favorite of mine. Put it all together with the colors and you have just a great card. Very lovely.
