Bloggers Challenge Friday…….Black and white
This weeks bloggers challenge was to make a black and white card. And while I know these can be quite elegant and beautiful, for me it was a big challenge simply because I LOVE color! And when I showed my DH the card finished, either it REALLY stinks or he’s so used to color that he called it “A beautiful funeral card”………………..beautiful funeral! I never thought I would make something to get that reaction!
I used my largest scalloped square nestie to cut out papers from the Angelique Prima collection, from Jacksonbelle. Then I added some Queen & co felt to the top, felt flowers again from the Angelique collection, flowers and brads from gina K and the finally I stamped! I used the large flower from MFT’s “Boho blossoms” and turned the edges so it wasn’t stiff looking and placed 3 glitter dots in the center. White brads in the bottom right hand corner are the final touch.
I have no idea how, who, when or why I would use this card. It’s so not me. I think I might take it apart tomorrow for anything salvagable.
Deets:
Stamps: Boho blossoms - My favorite things
CS: Angelique Prima collection from Jacksonbelle
Accessories: felt flowers from the Angelique prima collection at Jacksonbell, queen & co felt from Jacksonbelle, gina k flowers and brads and glitter dots, white brads.

I listen to my dh’s advice about stamping once and awhile, too. Sometimes he is right and sometimes, well….Your card looks good to me!
Your card is gorgeous! Don’t take it apart - put it in a small shadow box frame and display it! It’s ART baby!
This is so beautiful and elegant! I’m sure you could use this card for SO MUCH!!
I LOVE it! It looks like a card that I could give my grandma. And that’s not a putdown, that’s a compliment. She is a classy woman who LOVES beautiful cards!
Elizabeth you’re being hard on yourself. This card is stunning and elegant. I love that you used to nesties to give your card a shape and the little details on the brads and flowers is amazing. It’s a great card and anyone would be proud to receive it. You might surprise yourself. Great, great job on this challenge.

OMG! Do not take this card apart! It’s gorgeous! I love all the details you used!
Good heavens why would you want to take such a GORGEOUS piece of artwork apart!! - This is so pretty. Great details and it in no way reminds me of a “funeral card.”
You crack me up. I have thought about taking apart stuff too at times. I think your card is gorgeous. If you can’t think of anything to do with it, send it to me! LOL
Do not take this apart! this is a gorgeous card! I will provide my address if needed…LOL!
It is a striking card! Very sophisticated! Great job…

OMGOSH!!! This is fantastic!! WOW seriously…I don’t know where to begin but I think this needs to be framed!
I love this card. don’t take it apart! it may not be cheery like your other cards, but I think it is very antique and elegant looking. great job!
Truly a WOW! (Sometimes hubbies have NO taste!) This is amazing!!! Looks like an art piece…this definitely should be framed. I’m thinking it would look spectacular in one of those shaddow box frames. (Maybe set it against a color background.) Please do NOT pull it apart!!
A fantastic Wow! This card is truly beautiful. The design is great and I love the flower.
