Mostly Monochrome

More new papers!  I got the latest Papermania goody bag going cheap in Hobby Craft, they're getting rid of the current loop Docrafts stock ready for the new loop arriving at the start of July, so I picked up a couple of bargains.  These beautiful Midnight Blush Capsule Collection papers were in the goody bag, I also bought the matching lace paper shapes at under half price, I've used a black one on this card, they're laser cut so the edges are really precise.

 The image is a Sugar Nellie rubber stamp, I've coloured it with Promarkers, using mainly greys and black, adding only skin and hair tones, along with red for the hen's comb.  I added some faux stitching round the edges of the topper, by piercing holes with a pokey tool, then joining them up with a grey fineliner pen.
The sentiment is from Craftwork Cards and the patterned ribbon is Papermania, from the Licorice Sherbet Capsule Collection.
I made the flower with my Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die from a pair of Robbie's old school trousers.  He always rips the left knee out of his trousers, so I decided to recycle them, I think I'll do the same with some of his old jeans!
