Black & White

Don't you just love the clean simplicity of a black and white card?  Or even a monochrome card?  I've had requests to do a "B&W" class, so I've been playing around with it.  This is one that I came up with.  Gotta love that XL 2-Step Bird Punch, again!

The black "DSP" on the bottom was made with with the Solid Stripes stamp in the back of the Occasions Mini.  I stamped the Basic Black cardstock with VersaMark ink, then just eyeballed it to line up the next set of lines.  Didn't want to get out the Stamp-a-ma-jig....too lazy rushed for time, lol!  It was then heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  Cool, huh?  Looks almost like the Groom Specialty paper.  (Hmmm, that gives me an idea for later.......)

Here's another one, which would also fit the Friday Funday Challenge.
