No Color

Good morning! This is my first ever black and white card. I have been wanting to make one for some time and Gina set a black and white challenge yesterday, so I finally made one.

I used Melanie's set, A Year of Flowers and stamped the rose on Pure Luxury white card stock. Then I used my SU black ink pad and an aqua painter to color the image.

After trimming the card stock down to size, I scored 1/4 inch inside of the edges. Next I used my rectangle scallop Nestabilities to cut a piece of Basic Black card stock and backed that with another piece of white, again scored 1/4 inch inside the edges.

The next layer is a piece of wrapping paper I have been saving from a box of candy I received. I thought the black and white checkers were pretty and would make great designer paper.

I added a narrow piece of black card stock under the wrapping paper on the left to counter balance the bow on the right.

I want to remind you about Gina's blog candy she is doing everyday. She is giving a mini Janome sewing machine today! Wow!

Also, Melanie's big blogaversary bash starts tomorrow (Jan 1). You don't want to miss that!

Thank you so much for stopping by to visit. What a fun stamping year this has been!

Have a great day and a joyous new year!
