Today I have gone very simple with black and white. Entering this card in the Gina K designs and Simon Says Stamp Monday challenges.  Here is the card....

The challenge for Gina K designs is to use the focal image to make the background. So what I did using Gina K heartfelt stamp set. On black card stamping 3 images with distress imposing ink and dusting with perfect pearls created my base. Next using white card stamping my main image with versa fine black ink and embossing with Nuvo glitter powder. The sentiment stamped in Simon Says Stamp white pigment ink and embossed again with the Nuvo powder. Keeping it simple just a few Doodle Bug sprinkles beetle black.

For the Simon Says Stamp challenge my favorite tool would be my Misti. I can never get my stamping right EVER. I always had to try to match it up perfectly to get a good impression. Now with my Misti all the work is gone. Absolutely love it.

I'd like to share one of my Valentines cards today.  Temporarily  adhering Prima doily stencil I colored with Distress inks Worn Lipstick , Festive Berries and Spun Sugar.Then I die cut the piece of white card stock with Lawn Fawn stitched rectangles, the second largest die. Using Simon Says Stamps Lipstick red ink colored scrap white card. Using the Love stamp set and matching die, also from SSS. Adhered that to the panel as well as some gold pearls. Layered that to pink card stock cut to 4 and 3/4 by 5 and 1/2 top folding card. For the inside using a stamp off the wall "Live Well Laugh Often & Love Much, wood mounded stamp from Inkadinkado.

THE WALL of STAMPS dun dun dunnnnn. This is when I first fell in love with stamping. I used to keep them in 12 x 12 plastic containers until I started collecting the same stamps. So now I get to see all the loveliness all the time. The only problem is I didn't make it big enough. 

Using 1 x 2 wood I cut the boards to size stained them and secured them to the wall straight into the studs behind. 

For the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge "The Color of Love" using MFT magical dragons, all my love stamps sets and scenic safari dies. Distress inks for the sky and ground coloring and using copies to color the dragon.
