Quick Penny Black card

IMG_4490
Hello Friends, I have a super quick share for you today. This card was created for my Uncle that recently retired from decades of work in the field of agriculture. He did work with cows so I thought this Penny Black image was perfect. 
This may go in the record book for the shortest post ever for me. I am in the process of trying to break some old habits,  prioritizing what’s important and reflecting for the upcoming new year. 
Have a happy day! Hugs, Kathy
P.S. I cut this die for the “tag” with the SRM sentiment.

    Terrific the way that white stitching really picks up on the Retro pattern design plus the embossed cardstock. The way that turned over corner points to the chicken’s beak & leads the eye across to the other chicken’s beak, down along the mudguard & there’s the sentiment is great fun.
