It was a long time ago I had my box with Penny Black stamp. Every time I do however I fall as much in love with the old favourites as with my newer ones. For this card I used stamps from to different stamp sets. The whole colouring, both background and stamp motif are made with Distress Oxides. The card is made after a sketch in AAA Cards Game #131 - Sketch + Pastel Colors.
As soon as I saw it I knew I wanted to use the Friends-die and color the background and the letters the same and stamp some texture on the letters. After that I looked for stamps that would go well with the coloring and the friend-theme. I finished it off with the birthday wish and with adding white contours around the letters using a Posca pen.
Hope you like it!
