Joanna Sheen - Black & White


 
Hi and Good Morning :)
 
I hope everyone has managed to keep warm and dry this week!  Not sure what the weather has in store for us today, but yet again we have snow forecast.... zzzzz..  :) lol.
 
Anyway, my card today is for our new challenge over at Joanna Sheen, where this fortnight our theme is 'Black & White'.  This is such a classy colour combo, and looks really effective whether you are feeling CAS, artsy or cutesy!  As always the winner will get a fab £15 Joanna Sheen voucher to spend online, and a chance also to be our GDT.
 
I used an adorable digi image taken from the Daisy and Friends CD and just coloured lightly with Flexmarkers and PM's.   This was quite a quick card to make, as the dotty paper and the MS PATP seemed to almost finish the card themselves.  I added Memory Box and Cheery Lynn dies, and a few black gems for some bling.
 
Thanks so much for visiting my blog today, and I will be endeavouring to catch up next week.  We have had my dads dog to stay for some housetraining recently, and 4 mad dogs running round my feet has not been condusive to blogging or crafting - LOL! :)

    Oooh I'd find this colour scheme so hard, No pink allowed huh! Love those hearts, I have those dies and love them. The image is so beautifully coloured, really subtle and so pretty.

    I just love the way you echoed all the polka dots - paper, ribbon, her clothing, embossed white mat not to mention the way that die-cut doily echoes the little flowers on her top & in her hair - & the polka dots. Striking indeed.

    This is lovely, really like the layout. I'm wanting to try a black & white scheme. Haven't quite got all the elements to do it just now but you've inspired me. x
