Spoil Yourself...

I seem to be having a little craze on Penny Black images at the moment.  This is another card using an image and sentiment stamp from one of the Penny Black T for transparent stamp sets.  The spotty paper is a magazine freebie and I've teamed it with a textured fabric type of paper from my stash. 
The layout of the card came from this week's challenge at Sketch Saturday.  I really love the triangular mat idea and will be using that again in the near future.
I'm keeping up with my resolution of doing the dreaded inners at the same time as my card even if they are very simple ones.


It's probably a good way to use up some of the millions of peel offs that somebody bought over the years.  Who me?  Never!

Other Challenges...
 Enjoy your day everyone.

* Note added on Tuesday - do not look at the date on my card - some fool is still typing 2010 - sheesh what am I like?
