Yup! I did it and I might do it again. I got all crazy and used some pretty wild paper.
The Stamp is Penny Black's Centerpiece. I can't say this was a fast card to make. I can color forever on a piece and I find it so relaxing. Then there's the other thing with the paper. You would never believe how many times I start a project and I pull out my modest stash and end up not using one small piece. For this card, I even had my "safe" gingham out. I just threw caution to the wind.
What's next? Pink hair?
