Black and White

Over at DD, they are still celebrating their 1st Blogaversary!  That means another birthday card for the celebration.  I went with an inspiration from Pinterest this time.  You have all made this type of card and it always turns out great.  Using only Black and white, no other colors, and the inspiration board above.  I liked the colors, the butterflies and the pattern of the bottom pillow. 
Here is my card.

I used stamps from the Sending Love kit by Gina K designs. I this case the design in the corner was not big enough for what I wanted to do, so I used some of the smaller stamps in the kit to extend the pattern.  After stamping and coloring with white and black Prismacolor pencils, I die cut the rectangles.  I added a panel of black card stock to each white panel. Used a black marker to enhance all of the stitched lines about each rectangle. The butterfly is from the same set and was fussy cut and I used foam squares to paste it on.  The butterfly has black Wink of Stella and rhinestones.  There is clear Wink of Stella on the flowers.  I wish you could see it.  Then a white ribbon to hold the tiny tag, which says Happy Birthday.

I finished the inside of this card with two rows of stitches on the left side.

I will be adding this to the Challenge at Double D
