Check this out!

I'm getting in early (well early for me anyway) with week's Penny Black Challenge...where the theme is 'Check it Out'. I followed the sketch from Inspirational Card Sketches, using 'Birthday Dog' and papers from the 'Archaic' pad by BasicGrey. I distressed all of the edges using inks and my distressing tool...so I'm also going to enter this card into Simon Says Stamp's 'It's so distressing' challenge. The sentiment stamp is by Inkadinkado, the stars were cut using Nesties, and the brads are by Papermania.
