Blessings of Home

You all know that I love black & white cards!

Check out this one!

It is clean & simple!

And I love it!

It is a totally Susie card.

 

I used the 'Blessings of Home' stamp set.

This flowery stamp is a dis'ink'tive style.

Check out the highlighting & natural shading that is in these images! 

 

How did I do it?

 

1.  Take Basic White 3 3/4 x 5" & lay Basic White 2 1/2 x 3 1/2"

on top of each other as shown above & stamp flowers.

2.  When you get it stamped- you'll have these pieces.

3.  You will layer the stamped white pieces onto Basic Black card stock.

The bigger image will be adhered to the card base that measures-

5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- scored at 4 1/4" & fold in half.

The smaller stamped image will be adhered to 

a 3 x 4" piece of Basic Black card stock.

4.  It will look like this when you adhere them all together!

 I just added a thin strip with the words & ribbon to complete this card!!
