Black and White Challenge

Dies R Us Challenge #47 is Black & White.  This black butterfly was hiding out under my craft table today.  I used a die by Marianne Creatables to cut it out.  As usual any opportunity to divert my attention from cleaning up my craft area is a welcome diversion.  I remembered this B&W cardstock from DCWV and found some black rhinestone flourishes I had recently purchased at a stamp show.  In less than 5 minutes this easy-peasy card was done.  I'm out of the mood now for clean-up chores but I love my card!

Have a great day............................................Paulette

Inspired by Temperley of London

The Saturday Inspiration Challenge on Splitcoaststampers is to be inspired by the Temperley of London online catalog.  My inspiration is this scarf:  http://www.temperleylondon.com/shop/lettie-embroidered-dinner-scarf-black-ivory.html

The roses are cut with a Tattered Lace die.  The die I used for the border is one I got from a used stamp sale and I don't know the manufacturer.  The stamp is from PSX.  I added some half pearls to the flowers.

I am entering this card in Dies R Us Challenge #47 Black & White.

The April DCWV Stack-a-holic Challenge uses this sketch:

The cardstock I used for this card is from Nana's Kitchen stack and the Textured Jewels mat stack.  I used a Die-namites die to cut out the apron.  I distressed the edges of the apron with Mermaid Lagoon Distress Ink by Ranger.  I added spoon and fork brads as embellishments.

This card could be used as an invitation or by adding a birthday cake to the inside, it could be used as a birthday card.

Bon appetit.............................Paulette
