Hello friends. Playing along with two different challenges today...
The Challenge #92 and the
Double D Challenge. Both challenges are asking for black & white and a POP of color!
Had a new WPlus9 stamp to play with (Beautiful Bouquets: Mums) and I think it worked out perfectly for both of these challenges.
I embossed the image in black on a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock and then used a yellow Zig marker to color a little bit in the middle of the flowers and then used an Aqua Painter brush to move some of the color to the outer edges. I did use a tiny bit of gray on the leaves as I didn't want to leave them white and figured since it is a neutral color it would be ok. I finished by matting it on some black and then attached to a white card base. A little bit of black bakers twine, a small banner (PTI's
Stemmed Statements), and a few Rainstones finished off my card. Here's a closer up:
Both challenges are open for a little bit yet and absolutely GORGEOUS inspiration on both sites! You can check out

Thanks so much for stopping by today...I love it when you do!
