This Penny Black flower image is one of my favorites. I inked the flower portion with sponge daubers and used a marker for the stem. My pattern, though it's not much, is the decorative edge I made using the slit punch. I saw this idea somewhere, but can't remember on which site. You punch along an edge, spacing it how you want, then fold it back and insert another color. It's really very easy. I used the Tim Holtz distressing tool for the flower and frame and added the clip/ribbon.
