Black and White and a Touch of Color - Boom!


Use up your stash! Shop in your own craft studio! I bought Stampin' Up!'s 1/4" grosgrain ribbon for practically every color. Come to find out, ribbon in a bow or a simple knot creates added dimension that is not suitable for mailing (IMO). Use it up - you're welcome.

If you like this card, check out my Black and White Tutorial posted HERE. I used black and white pattern paper. Check out your stash, if you have purchased SU's Designer Series Paper, you have sheets that are black and white.

Be sure to subscribe to my blog and receive my new card ideas. The link is in the right-hand column of my blog (Desktop Version)
