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
Ink: Black
Accessories: Swiss Dots Embossing Folder, 5/8" Red Satin Ribbon, Red Bling, Dimensionals

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! :-)
ReplyDeleteMarisa, 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!
