SSNOTIME37 *** BLACK AND WHITE PLUS ONE


Friday is time for Sharon's Stamp Simply challenge. This week we were to make a card using black and white and one other color.
Well I wanted to use as many shade of this blue as I could find but nothing I did made me very happy so I settle for black and white and blue.
I love black and white cards with a little punch of color.
The outside sentiment is Impression Obsession and the bird is from Inkadinkado.
I added some dew drops and blue polka dot ribbon.
Actually the hardest part of this card was cutting and punching out the circles and making sure they all lined up properly.
Hope you enjoy and don't forget to check out Sharon's site HERE to see all the black and white plus one creations this weekend.
Have a fabulous weekend everyone!!! I am off for a weekend of R & R with some girlfriends so will see you Sunday***

I really like this card---I think just the one shade of blue is great! Nice peek-a-boo window, too!

Very cute! I have been wanting to do a b&w card for a while, maybe this will be my incentive if I can squeeze in the time!
I love blue with anything!

OMGosh, that's too cute, Janine! That's one of my favorite Inka bird stamps, and that IO sentiment stamp is a great one, too! The turquoise accent looks great with the black and white!

This turned out very pretty. I cut my top layer, then trance it with a pencil and then stamp on the inside. Makes it easier. I am sure you knew and probably did the same thing.
