Black & White Plus 1- A Friday Focus Challenge


It is that time of month again, can you believe that January went so fast?? Now with the beginning of February Flourishes has started another challenge were the winner will receive the new stamps for the month of February.  Don't forget to add the keyword listed above when or if you post your card on a public forum.
I was at CHA this week when I learned what the Friday Focus challenge was going to be. I immediately started working on my card (in my head) as I knew I would have one day to get my card made and posted. One day is really as much time as needed to make a card, but some days it takes me several days just to think of and decide on a sketch/design. 
It just so happens I had seen a demonstration at the Spellbinder booth at CHA on the day I learned that white, black, plus 1 would be the inspiration........ That accounts for the black and white cut, fold, tuck medallion on my card. New at Flourishes soon!  I really like the instant dimensional design you get with these.
I stamped on the white Fleur De Lis accent with S S Thank You Tulip stamp set and sentiment background. I colored with just a hand full of Copic markers (RV32, RV34, Y21, G17). The lace is two of Flourishes newest additions, and the three little Candi's in the upper corner, well those are coming soon too!
Don't you just love the little dimentional paper "brad" looking circles. They come in a number of different colors, patterns, as well as white shimmer that you can color to match the papers you use. Fun!

I can't wait to see what the team has designed, lets take a look.......
