More black and white...



My black and white style card from yesterday's posting seems to have developed into a collection!

When I printed the silhouette lady from my new Debbie Moore CD I actually printed a whole sheet of silhouette profiles of different ladies.  I don't often do this due to the cost of ink, but I must say it was really good fun to make a little collection of cards with the same colour scheme and papers and I still have loads of silhouettes left too.



I'm really proud of myself actually as I managed to make all 5 cards using only one A4 sheet of the black with white flowers and one sheet of the white with black flowers paper by Kanban.  Not like me to be so economical!!



I think having now made a set of these my next job will be to make a matching box as I have a friend who is not a card maker herself, but would appreciate these to use as notelets and it is her birthday coming up soon.



My cards fit the challenges at ...
  • Sketch Saturday - the sketch used on the last card.
  • SophistiCats - fancy borders - I've used glitteration on otherwise plain borders so maybe I can just about squeeze into this challenge!
  • Tuesday Taggers - 2nd entry and it's their fault for starting me off on this black and white frenzy.
  • One Stop Craft Challenge - something beginning with 'B' - black, bows and beautiful ladies.
  • The Corrosive Challenge - use two of your favourite embellisments - mine are clear crystal gems and ribbon. 
Don't forget that tomorrow sees the start of Bah! Humbug! - yeah at long last the starting day has arrived.  So if you want to ensure that next year Christmas is a breeze as far as cards being ready to post do join us and have some fun too.
