For You

Hi!
I got caught up in this new show on Wednesday nights~ 'Lie to Me'~ it's awesome, definitely a new fave of mine!! But now I'm tired, it's snowing again, and I just want to get under the covers and read. I do want to share a quick post tonight though. This card was made with this week's SCS color challenge, and Mercy's Tuesday Sketch. I don't use this set a lot at all, in fact, I think this is the second time I've ever used it. I love it, I just never know what to do with it! So I went over to SCS and cruised the galleries for some inspiration. I didn't case anyone, I just grabbed a few ideas here and there (you guys all amaze me!) and I came up with this. I like it, what do you think? And if anyone has caught 'Lie to Me', let me know what you think about that too~ I think it's way cool and very interesting~ good TV, which think is kind of rare these days, but that's just me!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hugs and Smiles~
Denise

Black & White Silhouetes

Good morning!

I'm excited about this card! I've never done just black and white before.

So, I'm checking out my fav blogs and I see that Beate's inspiration challenge for this week is this gorgeous b&w pillow from Coldwater Creek. So I said to myself- "Self, this is the perfect opportunity to try out this color combo." I said, "Let's do it!" So I combined this with Mercy's Tuesday sketch http://lordhavemercy-mercykerin.blogspot.com/ and came up with this.

The card measures 6 5/8 x 3 1/4". I started with black CS for the base and added a white panel with black lace adhered to the bottom. I stamped my Garden Silhouettes 3 times on white CS and embossed in black. I punched randomly each image with a 1 3/8" circle punch and adhered the 3 circles to another black panel. I added a small strip of white CS to the bottom of that black panel and attached it to my card. I finished it off with 'Sincere Salutations.

I stood back and said, "Self, we done pretty good!" Hope you like it too!

Thanks so much for stopping by, and don't forget to smile a lot today:):):):)
