I absolutely love making black and white cards. I can still remember the first black and white stamped card I ever saw since it made such an impression on me.
Black and white cards are so elegant and seem to come together quickly since I am only focused on using the two colours (and some may argue only one colour since white doesn’t count).
And when I think of elegant cards, the Elements of Style stamp set is usually the first set that comes to my mind.
For this card. I stamped the large floral image onto Whisper White cardstock with Basic Black ink and let it dry. Then, I embossed the Finial Press embossing folder over the stamped piece with the Big Shot. Although this card would have looked okay without the embossing, I think the added texture makes the card special.
So what about you? Are you a fan of black and white cards? Please leave a comment and let me know. Thanks!

This has been the view from my “office” for 15 days. Can you spot the surfers?
Thanks to a bonus I received from Stampin’ Up!, my family spent Spring Break and an extra week in Waikiki at the Outrigger Reef hotel. It was the best vacation ever!
Unfortunately, I arrived home on Saturday with a wicked cold/flu and slept for 39 hours. What do they put in the air on planes?
I tried to keep up with e-mails and reply while I was gone. If you did not receive your reply thanks to wonky wi-fi, please let me know.
Want to know how you can treat your family to a Hawaiian vacation thanks to your income as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator?
