Seize the Birthday - Black and White

 Hello friends.  It is time for our new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Linda wants to see our birthday cards in Black and White.  Of course it can always be Anything Goes for a birthday.


I used two black & white pattern papers from my stash, glued them together and added to a thin black mat, then mounted on my white card base.  The flower from Gina K. Designs Wishful Florals was stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink and die cut with the matching die.  I added strips of foam tape to the back and then added it to the center of the black/white dotted paper.  The sentiment is from an older SU set, cut and added with glue and foam tape.  A quick and simple card but I think it looks elegant in black and white.  Thanks Linda for a fun challenge.

We are glad to welcome a new team member to STB - Nance Salked.  Glad to have you joining us Nance.

Be sure to check out all the inspiration by the DT and our party guests over at Seize the Birthday.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,
JoAnn

  3. I am enjoying that use of many patterns in your card when the use of color is not allowed. This turned out quite well.
