BLACK AND WHITE

I don't often do Black and White cards but I was inspired by the photo challenge at Angie Mackenzie's Facebook Challenge Group Nature's INKspirations for this month.  She gave the option of the photo in black and white or colour but I went for the black and white and added a touch of grey.  I'm also including this in the Try It On Tuesday challenge which is asking for black and white and one colour.

I chose to use Dandelion Wishes for my card - I think it lends itself to monochrome cards.  I used a heart framelit to cut out the heart and then used it as a stencil to ink in the heart.  I used an old SU colour Going Gray - I've had it 15 years so far and it's still going.  

I used some Dovecraft Pigment black ink to stamp the dandelions and the sentiment.  I used some SU faceted gems just to add a bit of interest so it's not quite so flat.  I then layered it onto grey card stock rather than black just to give it a softer look.




I'm also adding this into the Sweet Stampin Challenge blog who have asked us to use stencils.
