Allsorts Challenge 493: Poppies or the Color Red

Hello and thanks so much for stopping by today! It's Saturday so that means it's time for a new theme at Allsorts challenge and Kath is our host this week with the theme of Poppies or the Color Red. I have several poppy stamps but for today I inked up my newest (I think these are poppies) from this year's Penny Black spring release for the first time! I almost forgot I had this stamp!

Penny Black Spontaneous Joy // Penny Black Diamond Border Die // Distress Markers // Distress Ink Tea Dye // Tonic Stamp Platform // My Favorite Things Label Sentiments retired - Similar Option  // Stampin Up French Script - Retired

To make this card I used Distress Markers  to color directly onto the stamp Spontaneous Joy by Penny Black and lightly spritzed with water before stamping. The words on the background were done with an old retired stamp by Stampin Up (french script) and Tea Dye ink. The label sentiments are from a retired My Favorite Things set. I couldn't find it online anywhere anymore, but found this Altenew set to be similar. 
I thought the card needed something black on the bottom as well, so I used Penny Black's Diamond Border Die to add the border using both parts of the die. Before adhering my card to a white base, I ran a green ink pad along the edges of the card front to give it a little bit of a frame. 

Here is what you can win this week, hope you can join us for a chance to win!

Lovely stamping against the script background Ellie and the touches of black work well. We used the same stamp yet with such differnt results, just proves the versatility of PB's.
