Well, I just cannot add one die cut to my card, can I? Especially Penny Black dies. I added two of them on m card for the challenge below.

Here is how I made the card:

1.Card base is Simon’s Fog cardstock. My favourite neutral colour cardstock next to white.

2. On a black cardstock, I clear heat embossed the new SImon’s Cosmos background stamp. Love tone on tone embossed background.

3. I then brushed the images with some Nuvo clear shimmer pen and die cut the background using the largest of Simon’s stitched rectangle die. I adhered this background panel on the fog card front using foam adhesives.

4. I die cut heavy vellum paper using the one of the die from Simon’s Nested Talk Bubbles die set.

5. Then using Simon’s Gold glitter paper, I die cut Penny Black’s Lots of Love die and adhered on the vellum talk bubble die cut.

6. To add colour to the card, I die cut the Flinches birds from Penny Black using white cardstock and sponged distress inks Picked Raspberry and Ripe Persimmon. I layered the die cut and adhered on top of the die cut gold sentiment as shown.

7. For the eyes, I added Ebony Nuvo drops and when it dried, I added a touch of white using sakura gel pen.

8. Finally embellished with onyx sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.

Here are some closeups of the card.

I love the tone on tone background with embossing and the pop of colour from the birds.
