Sketch Saturday #31

This weeks challenge over on Sketch Saturday is a bit different. We could choose any one of the last 30 sketches for the challenge, I choose #29. I choose this one because it's one I didn't have time to do. I used Distress Inks to colour this one, these are a new thing for me and must admit I love them!

Stamp Something

This is my entry for the present sketch challenge over on Stamp Something. The image is a Penny Black stamp and I coloured it with Distress Inks. I'm new to using these inks and this was my first attempt. This card if for my Brother In Law, whose birthday in on 2nd January. He's an avid reader so I thought this image was perfect for him.
