Welcome to February everyone! Hard to believe that one month of 2012 has already been completed.
This month our Challenge is Black and White plus One! And it's just as easy as it sounds - join us in creating a card using the colors black and white with only one extra color.
I pulled out the set Fanciful Flourishes . I think a damask style flourish looks gorgeous with black and white, and these hearts are perfect with a little pop of color. I stamped the solid heart in Memento Lilac Posies, and then inked the damask heart onto cardstock vellum in VersaMark embossing with fine detail embossing powder. You may not be able to see from this photo but I also added the damask flourish image to the black layer, embossing it black on black.
In this photo you can see the black on black a little better. I've used Spellbinders Ornate Artisan Dies to cut the shapes. Embellished with some gorgeous ribbons from the store as well as some pretty pink rhinestones swirls.
Join the girls today in this Black and White plus One Challenge, you could win the whole February release! Upload your link to the Flourishes Blog by Friday at 5 PM to be eligible to win! Can't wait to show you Sneak Peeks next week, you will love them!
