This week's sketch on Splitcoast was an easy one to work with so I decided to sneak in a quick card. Black and white came to mind, probably because I am still suffering from my early morning rise on Tuesday to watch the Olympic Torch Relay (told you I wasn't a morning person LOL!). However, if truth be told, my drowsy state is due to my staying up way too late reading that same evening. What can I say, I'm not as young as I used to be LOL! The flower image on the card is from my new With All My Heart set from Stampin'UP (nothing better than inking up some fresh rubber....aaaaahhhh). I added a Swiss Dots panel (surprise, surprise), and a touch of red to liven things up. It's a bold, dramatic card, that's for sure LOL!. Only one more sleep until the Opening Ceremonies - can't wait!! Have a fabulous day!
What's In It?
Stamps: With All My Heart (SU)
Paper: Basic Black, Real Red

The color combo makes this so dramatic and such an awesome card!
I'm in Calgary now. I love it here but miss Victoria. Most of my cards end up out there.
Love seeing when you have a new update. Following talent is inspirational:)
Such a clean yet striking design!
Girl, if I could send you some of this snow and cold we're having, I'd do so in a heartbeat!
This is the bold and the beautiful - lol! Black & white with a pop of red is always stunning! I'm still waiting for you to come and truck some snow out of my yard! :-)
Marisa, this is wonderful! I love that center medallion image! Great colors and design. I hear you on the sleeping. I go for as long as I can and crash! I like to do what I call.....power naps! Getting up that early does take a bit to overcome!
