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!

First time I’ve seen this one. It is simply beautiful ! Black and white works for all occasions.
I LOVE Black and White cards. They are very classy and elegant – like your idea of embossed background as well. I think this Easter Blossoms set is on my “Wish” list.
Darlene,
This is so beautiful. I too love black and white, but never seem to make as many as I would like. I think the embossing really sets off the image. Thanks for the inspiration.
Wow a fab beautifull elegant card and black and white is my favorite the embossing over the stamped image looks really good will use that in the future thanks for sharing Luv Sue x
