Hello Stampers,
When I saw the Monday MakeOver Challenge by Andrea Walford seen here, I thought of all the beautiful colours in the Stampin' Up! colour family and toyed with different colour combinations and ended up with ... yup, black and white.
Here is my submission for the challenge.
I used the flower from Bloomin' Beautiful (Occasions Mini that ended last month). All supplies are Stampin' Up!
I stamped the flower using White Craft and embossed it with White EP. I debated about rolling a background on the large white cardstock but decided that I would just use the piercer to make a design in the corners. I also pierced the smaller piece of white cardstock with a smaller design. I had to touch up a bit of the embossing and the Versamark pen is absolutely perfect for that!
On the black strip I punched out the notch using my 1 1/4" square punch so the cut was nice and clean rather than attempting to use my scissors. If I had someone at home when I was making the card, I would have had a picture taken using the punch but unfortunately, only Bella and I are at home - lol. I played around with using several types of ribbon at the top of the circle - from the black and white gingham (too casual), to fraying black and white grosgrain (too messy) to a bow using both white and black grosgrain (too bulky), a white grosgrain bow (um, no and neither just a black grosgrain bow) and decided that it looked just fine without a bow.

Stamp Set: Bloomin' Beautiful
