Black and White Elegance

Happy Friday!

Today's post is a quick one as I'm on my way out the door to work this morning!  I went with a clean and simple, elegant black & white card.  Super fast to make and perfect for either a sympathy or wedding card, don't you think?

Simple Friends

Happy Saturday!

Today I'm sharing an elegant card that I think could be used for either a wedding/anniversary or even a sympathy/get well.  I went clean and simple with lots of white, touches of black and my favorite elegant Cuttlebug folder: Victoria.

Here's a close-up of the focal image from GinaK's new Free with Three stamp set called Friends are Forever ...

Stamps: Friends are Forever
Ink: Memento

Other: Victoria cuttlebug embossing folder, GinaK white ribbon; copic markers

Since I wanted to keep the options open with this card, I just stamped the floral image in black ink and left it sentiment free.

Have a wonderful rest of your day - hope it includes a bit of time for stamping!

Fine Furnishings and Friends are Forever

Welcome back!

It's been a fun week of previews, hasn't it?  Tonight, I'm thrilled to share some more projects with you that I've made with 3 more new stamp sets that will be available tomorrow night online, after GinaK's release party.

My first sample was made with both of Nina Brackett's new stamp sets: Fine Furnishings and Fine Furnishings Additions.  These stamp sets are filled with sentiments that I LOVE and both line art and bold images that are so fun to play with! 

I chose to paper piece the chair with some Basic Grey Origins papers and then used some journaling notecards to finish off the inside and outside of the card.  Notice the background?  That's made with Nina's Vintage Backgrounds stamp set...

My last card for the previews was made with GinaK's new Free with Three stamp set called Friends are Forever.  When you purchase 3 stamp sets in one order, this set is automatically included in your order! 

While thinking about my project, I decided to make a clean and simple card using basic supplies.  The images were colored with Spica Glitter pens and the ribbon is actually white with the edges colored lavendar with Copic markers.

It ended up being very elegant and simple.  I chose to keep it sentiment free so that I could use if for a wedding, anniversary, or even sympthy card.
