Pulling out the old Penny Black

It seems like such a long time since I have used my Penny Black stamps and I forgot how versatile they are!! Great for girls and guys cards, dress them up or dress them down. My brother in laws birthday is next week so I have pulled out one of the Penny Black mice.

The challenge for this week at Stamp with Fun is Stripes, which suits guys cards perfectly and I have used the sketch for MoJoMonday's challenge. The papers are from the Thift Shop DP pad from October Afternoon (which I got from Delicious Papercrafting), other than the sentiment paper which was in my scrap stash. Other than that the card is pretty plain but I think pretty effective, don't you???!!
