Black and White

Good morning to all you lovely friends and  followers. Hope that you are all keeping safe from this awful wet weather and hoping none of you have flooded homes. I've had a quieter week than last and  enjoyed a night out last night with my Golden Girl friends. We were one missing as Lorna is on her world tour currently in New Zealand and my friend Margaret just got back Wednesday from visiting her daughter in Dubai. She had a great time seeing her granddaughter who is two and enjoyed some lovely weather not that we are envious not much !!

Today my card is something a bit different. This stamp was one I got when I took out a magazine subscription last year and its by Indigo Blu and its called Ella Bella. I've made it all black and white and made some paper flowers for a change and  also used a shaped card as its quite a big stamp and  looked a bit lost on my normal 6x6 cards. Let me know what you think.

I hope you enjoy this card I quite enjoyed making it but it seemed strange not painting the image after stamping. I've seen this stamp done with gilding flakes so one of my challenges when I get some  time.

  7. Hi Carole. How did I miss this card? It's really lovely in black and white and I do like that stamp. Your flowers finish it off beautifully. I can't wait to see it done in gilding flakes. Debra x
