Black and White with a Splash

Playdate Cafe #91 has a gorgeous challenge.



Black and white with a splash of one color.





I LOVE black and white.


A splash of color?


Even better!






I  "free embossed" the background like I did in this card.



I stamped in Versamark and then embossed the image with black.


Then I swiped the whole scene with Tim Holtz Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink pad.

There's a layer of texture with the corrugated black strip.


It was one of my quickest cards, once I got started.







Thank you for stopping in. ;)

    Wow! I love how much texture you have on your card--the emossing powder and carboard are such cool effects. LOVE that stamp and how you used the orange. It's really striking!
