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.
