The theme this week over at Casual Fridays is Penguin Suit! In honor of Penguin Awareness Day on January 20th, we are to create a Black and White CAS project. Well...........I'm all over it!!
This is what I whipped up last evening using some "oldie but goodie" Hero Arts stamps.
Supplies used:
Hero Arts stamps- K4887, LL165, CG139
Provo Craft embossing folder
Spellbinders Mega Ovals dies
Versafine Black, Colorbox Frost white ink
Black gem, pop dots
I pulled out an older "card art" Hero Arts wooden stamp that has a lot of different things going on (collage style). I decided to add a few polka dots for some more interest along the bottom and cover up the "thanks" that is on the botttom of the stamp with another HA sentiment on black paper. I stamped the flower again and fussy cut it and popped it up for some dimension. I felt compelled to emboss the BG as it needed a bit more texture. I really like black & white cards....I usually struggle with these.....but I really am pleased with the way this turned out!!
Thanks for stopping bye and have a great day!
Inky Hugs............................Anne
