MONOCHROMATIC BROWN
we would like to see you use the colour brown in all it's different shades
not as scary as you might think when you see the fabulous inspiration from the girls on the team

As always you can create a card...altered art...layout...box...notebook...whatever takes your fancy the only RULE being that you use at least one Penny Black image and can I just remind everyone that the main image on the card must be Penny Black.....not Magnolia etc...with a Penny Black sentiment

we have a fabulous prize up for grabs this week

lots and lots of gorgeous flowers to choose from


The winner will be chosen at random and announced next Saturday

If you don't have a blog....e-mail your entry to me (Kath) and I will be only too happy to pop it on the blog for you.

  12. A great challenge - I think I prefer brown to black monochromatic - it's much softer. You've all made some wonderful cards too for inspiration.
    Thanks!

    Love Lynda xxx

  21. so off i toddled to my craft room, happy in the knowledge that i was going to do a monochromatic card for the penny black challenge. when I got down there (no pc down there), I thought right, monochromatic, i won't do brown - they all seemed to be doing that so I chose red! I've only just now found out that the brown part was in the challenge too. feel very daft now. will have to go and do a re-make!!!

  22. Another great challenge although a bit hard lol only being able to use browns.

  23. Thanks for yet another wonderful opportunity to take part in a great PB challenge. It's always lovely to see what other people do with stamps you may have in your own collection at home and get some inspiration.

    Thanks again, Fae xxx
