Penny Black and PTI

Penny Black Saturday Challenge
Time for Penny Black Saturday Challenge and we currently have a DT call.  This month our theme is Thank You.  I pulled out the 2008 PB stamp called footnote to make an elegant card that could be sent to a man or woman. 
I used my old fashioned stamp positioner to stamp the image twice on a cream panel.  The heat embossing was done with a very old satin bronze embossing powder.  The sentiment from the PB set called dahlias was stamped in Brilliance Graphite Black.  I added tiny dots of Nuvo Black Onyx (using a pointed toothpick) & cut the frame with Lil' Inker Stitched Rectangles.  I'm entering Die Cut Divas & Word Art Wednesday.  
The Diva's that cut ....paper!Grab our badge:
Next is my entry for this week's PTI MIM challenge: twine & ribbon wraps.
I die cut the PTI Twig Wreath from dark brown felt & wrapped it with a beautiful cream/brown metallic twine. I stamped the sentiment from PTI Meadow Greens in Hero Arts Cup O' Joe on a Vintage Cream panel & then embossed it with the linen/canvas impression plate.  I wrapped Vintage Cream ribbon around the panel & tied it with a piece of the twine.  The panel was mounted with fun foam to a Vintage Cream card & I added 3 brown, metallic sequins.  Glad to have one of my needed Fall Birthday cards ready to mail.  I'm also entering DRU & Word Art Wednesday.  Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.

    Sheer elegance on both Greta but particularly drawn to the second as I have a bit of a thing for wreaths and find them very pleasing on the eye.

    Have a lovely weekend.

    Neutrals really do make elegant cards and how nice that they can be used for either gender! Great job, Greta~ We're into November with some clouds and cool days but still loving those trees holding onto their colors.

    Both cards are fab, Greta, using such natural color schemes! Hope you’re not getting too much snow down there. It’s steadily falling here and even accumulating.
