Ooh La La in Black & White

Hi Bloggers.

Thank you to everyone who watched the shows yesterday and to those of you who took the time to email in. Your support is much appreciated. I had a great couple of shows with Genevieve and Jacqui - I hope you enjoyed them.

Today I'm sharing another black and white card. I just love the definition you seem to get from these colours.

For the background I stamped 'Ooh La La!' and a corner motif from the Creative Expressions Vintage Lingerie Stamp Set randomly over a piece of white card using Black Soot Distress Ink. Then I used the Spellbinders Nobility M-Bossability Folder with my Grand Calibur. I ran it through a second time to extend the pattern. I went over the whole area with Black Soot Distress Ink using Cut & Dry Foam.

I cut an insert into a strip of black card using the Edgeabilities Classic Postage Stamp. I threaded some black & white baker's twine through it and added it to my background. I tied a bow using 2 lengths of the Baker's Twine and added it to my border. I cut 2 tassels from Banner Basics Three and added them below my bow.

I cut an Elegant Post from black card and added it to the top left-hand corner of my card. I cut a Labels One Small out of white card and at the emboss stage I added the Basket Wave Mask from That Special Touch. I inked with Black Soot while still in the die. I hung this from my post securing with 3d foam pads. I stamped the corset (my favourite) from the Vintage Lingerie Stamp Set using Jet Black Archival and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Clear Embossing Powder. I cut it out and added it to the Labels One die cut.

I finished the card off with some dots of Cosmic Shimmer White Pearl PVA.

Hope you like the card.

Thanks for stopping by.

Julia.
