Another card for the day and this one is for Seize the Sketch. Lately there have been several cards using black and white paper and I like the combination but it is not something I would typically make because my "thing" is coloring. This image was part of a sympathy stamp set I just received but it did have this flower. So I stamped and embossed the flower and matted it on black card stock. I have a file cabinet with only folders of paper scraps so I chose these two pieces of black/white paper. The floral paper is double sided and side two is the gold. I die cut the wave from a NBUS die set from Paper Smooches and punched the two circles. The sentiment was a sticker which I mounted onto a piece of scrap white cardstock.
Amigos may seem like an odd sentiment to put on a more serious card but one of my oldest and dearest friends of fifty years has a birthday shortly. Her husband also has the same birthday so I used the word amigos. They are truly great life-long friends and I love when we can get together which is not often as they live in Oregon and moi in California.

I think your card is sensational, Barb! You've done a beautiful job of combining geometric papers with floral papers and the simple b/w image is the perfect topper!! I love the wavy gold sash! It's cool that you can make one card for both of their birthdays!! Hugs, Darnell

Barb, I love this beautiful card for your friends. How fun they have the same birthday! Love this one and the gingham! Thanks so much for joining us at Seize the Sketch!
ReplyDeleteNot gingham , tiny white dots and the beautiufl patterned paper.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card! I love black and white and have to say at first I thought it was gingham just like Marybeth. So matter what it is, it is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty papers and image.

This is very pretty. The kraft paper looks great next to the black and white, and I do like that image uncolored. (must have been hard for you to resist coloring it!)
