Black, Brown and Red on the catwalk at FSC

Good morning folks, oh dear I've had a right week of it, I seem to have spent half my life this week on trains or stood waiting at the station. Why on earth are railway stations always 10 degrees colder than anywhere else? I'd better stop moaning as I'm home, nice and warm and even better its the weekend! We've got a new  challenge over at Fashionable Stamping Challenges and our theme is Black, Brown and Red. As always our lucky winner will receive a prize from our sponsor Marina at Cottage Crafts so ink up those stamps and join in to be in with a chance to win. 


For my card I've created a messy inky background with distress inks, overstamped with an IndigoBlu fabric texture stamp, this was a freebie with my last order and it is such a useful stamp. The focal image is also from  IndigoBlu, coloured with distress markers. 


I've added some black ribbon, a little button and then coloured and cut out a couple more of the poppies and popped them on the card.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
Anything goes: vintage/shabby chic
Chocolate Coffee and Cards: Buttons and bows
Fab'n'Funky: flower power

Thanks for popping by, have a peep at the gorgeous projects created by my lovely DT sisters if you've got a few minutes. Have a lovely Sunday
