Perfectly Penciled in Black and White

Black and White Faves for Chess Day

Is it okay to celebrate International Chess Day when I’ve never played a game? But I did watch all of The Queen’s Gambit. Does that count?

The Queen’s Gambit is a miniseries that follows the career of a female chess prodigy named Beth. I really enjoyed the episodes and was fascinated by her outfits as they were inspired by the chess board and pieces.

So, I decided to make a card today in only black and white using chess as my inspiration.

I love making black and white cards and with paper like the Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper you can’t go wrong. I just added a few layers and a greeting. And there are other fabulous papers to inspire your black and white creativity today and every day.

I love the new Painted Posies 3D Embossing Folder. It is gorgeous! Simple but elegant flowers are embossed onto the cardstock and were a great match for the Perfectly Penciled Designer Series Paper flowers.
