CSF Saturday Blog Hop - Black & White

Today's Create With Stamping Friends Saturday Hop theme is to use only Black & White on our projects. I do think B&W with other colors, like yellow, red, or turquoise, can be striking, but so can just B&W by itself!

I started by die cutting the blossoms from Impressions Abloom and stamping the centers in black. I used the Fine-tip Glue Pen to make the centers shiny, and set them aside to dry. While waiting for them to dry, I adhered the Irresistible Designs Specialty DSP to the black card base and die cut the leaves.

The greeting label from Sentimental Framing Dies was cut first and the greeting stamped on after. That die is a solid piece, which would have made lining up the greeting difficult if I had stamped first, then cut. The black mat behind it is the center of the next-largest die and fits perfectly. Then all I had to do was arrange the flowers and leaves over a few loops of Baker's Twine!

That's all for today - see you next Saturday! Up next is Libby Fens at Libby Stamps. Or click the "back" button to go back to Lori de Groot at Loritamarie Crafts.
