Black and White


The program for this swapped card was that it use only black and white. I found this stamp from Paperbag Studios in one of my drawers, and it was perfect.

I used ultra fine detail black embossing powder to emboss the image, then at the last second, I added a tiny black and white flower brad for dimension. I think it looks a little bit like the woman is wearing a pin.

Because the stamp was perfectly sized for the trading card, I simply cut the white stock to mount onto a black backer piece and was finished.

I have been using Malmero Pearl card stock from CutCardStock.com lately. These black and white papers have an iridescent sparkle to them that is very subtle.

Very simple, yet elegant.

Hi Betty,
I like the b+w, it took me a moment to realise how the lines read, with it being in black then white, it sounded almost like a poem at first. The quieter you....
