Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I kept thinking this needed a spot of color, but in the end, the black
sentiment strip did the trick.
I used a set that was a gift from a sweet blogging friend
These vintage flowers have wonderful shading and although I think they'd
be beautiful colored, they stand out in black and white.
I stamped the butterfly again on a piece of scrap and fussy cut it out to pop
over the stamped one. Some tiny gems gave some extra interest and a foiled
sentiment finishes it off.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Summer has come back for a few days
but we'll be back to that lovely fall weather next week.

Good morning Bonnie. Very formal and I like it. The black and white definitely makes a statement.

Bonnie, it is stunning just as you've used it! The black sentiment strip was indeed the perfect finishing touch.

The detail in the stamp makes it perfect for leaving it black, Bonnie, and the sentiment strip was a great way to fill that open spot.
ReplyDeleteGreat choice to let that beautiful stamp shine on its own! While it'll be beautiful colored, it really takes on a whole new personality with the b&w -- amazing
ReplyDeleteIt's absolutely stunning in black and white! Sometimes no color is best for bringing out the beauty of the certain stamps. I can imagine they'd be gorgeous colored, too, though. You're right about how the black sentiment strip does the trick of bringing impact to the overall design. It's all just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThis image was meant to be turned into a black and white card! So pretty, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteYou are right about those flowers. They look stunning in black and white. I am glad you didn't colour them. Your card is stunning xx
ReplyDeleteThis is beautifully balanced, Bonnie! Such a pretty card in just black and white. I think the dark sentiment did the trick too. Thanks for playing at Seize the Birthday and for using the Topping.

ReplyDeleteI'd never have thought of doing a flower card like that just in black and white, but I love the look of it so will probably CASE your card at some point. It's so elegant!
