Stampin’ Fancy Friday – Black and White Challenge

This month at the Stampin' Fancy Friday ... Black and White Challenge. The Stampin' Fancy Friday Challenge this month is all about Black and White. A monochromatic theme that's bold and beautiful, I used it to create my husband's upcoming Wedding Anniversary Card.

Today's theme had me immediately think of vintage florals and tiny flowers, so Bloom Bouquet it had to be. Taking a 3" panel the height of my card, I trimmed it with what looked like white lace. This was created with off cut scraps of Basic White cardstock and the Bordered in Beauty Dies....

I may have been quieter than normal with my crafting but I recently designed a series of cards for Die Cutting Essentials Magazine using the Fern & Flora Bundle by Stampin' Up!

I adore the botanical feel of these dies and what you can create with them. This wreath card screams whispy fresh air combined with richness, I just loved creating it. Would you welcome a botanical card like this for your birthday?
