Black And White And Pink All Over

Day 2 of totally stepping out of my comfort zone.  Another black and white Christmas card.  I wonder if I will have to add a disclaimer to this card, so the recipient knows it is a Holiday card?  :)

This is for the Flourishes Challenge #244, Plaid Or Houndstooth.


The card uses the Flourishes stamp set, Star Of Bethlehem.  I love the circular layout of this stamp and the beautiful floral image and sentiment.  It's large, but not too large.  Just a very pretty design.  Had this great houndstooth DP in my Halloween stash and then I found a matching ribbon.  Score!  Don't you just love when things work out like that?  Added a bit of black pearl flourish and a couple of pink adhesive pearls and wha la.    I added some sparkle with Sakura pens, pink in the flower centers, clear star to outline each flower, and a bit of green on the leaves.  Another card that came together rather quickly.

Plenty of time to check out this week's Challenges.

Enjoy~~

    Oh my gosh, I love how you have colored this image. Just GORGEOUS!!! One of my favorite color combos is pink and black. Love your choice or papers, and that jewel flourish just finishes this off perfectly. That is one beautiful stamp!!!
