Seize the Birthday - Black and White

Hello friends and happy Thursday.  We have a new challenge for you over at Seize the Birthday and this time the "Toppings" option is to use black and white only.  Remember it is an option and the only requirement is that it be a birthday project.
I stamped the floral image from SU Southern Serenade in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and had to resist coloring it, but I think it looks great with the b/w theme.  I also added some pearls to the flower centers.  The sentiment and banner die cut are from a Hero Arts set.  I fussy cut the black mat and then mounted it with foam tape.  The pattern papers are from First Edition Black Out 12x12 pad, and matted with black.  

Remember to check out all the fabulous cards by my teammates and our party guest Julie,  over at Seize the Birthday.  I hope to see you in our gallery.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,
JoAnn

    So pretty! I agree, the stamped flower looks great in b&w and really suits the background paper.

    I adore how you matched the pattern papers on your card to make that flower image work so well without color. Fantastic!

    Such a pretty card! Love that you've left the flowers uncolored. And the black matting does wonders to the design!

    There's so much going on but the black and white colour scheme brings it altogether so perfectly. :)
