Penny Black & BasicGrey Challenges

This is the first time that I've been able to enter Penny Black and BasicGrey challenges, thanks to the lovely Chris for sending me some images and santa who bought me some BasicGrey paper pads. This week on BasicGrey there is a lovely sketch to follow and on Penny Black the theme for this week is 'Embossing'.

And this is the card that I came up with

The papers I used are BasicGrey Eva and the image is Penny Black. I've coloured it in using my Promarker pens and white inkssentials pen. The flower is a cuttlebug die, coloured in using my promarker pens and then embossed with clear powder. The ribbon and gems are from my stash. TFL x
