Last week the Ways to Use it Challenge was to use all white cardstock. I had so much fun with this challenge and also with the concept of finding new ways to use those basic supplies that we all have on hand.I thought it would be fun to keep the challenge on basic supplies for a few weeks. After all…they are the ones we turn to time and time again and finding new ways to use them or just looking at them in a different light can be a good thing.

Today’s challenge is to find Ways to Use Black. Unlike last week’s challenge, you don’t have to use all black but do make sure you use it. I love pairing up black with white for a monochromatic look. Pairing black cardstock up with vibrant colors really makes them pop. Stamping directly onto black cardstock is another great look and I’m sure you have more great ideas as well. Check out the challenge here. Hope you can play along!

Ornate Thank You

This card uses very basic supplies..white & black cardstock, a couple stamps, one ink pad and some simple and inexpensive embellishments. I love playing up on pattern with black and white. It always gives such a clean and graphic look and is always timeless. The background of this design is stamped with the Ornamental Borders Scrapblock. To create a “frame” for my embellishment tag by Making Memories, I stamped the corner flourish stamp twice. I designed this stamp so that you could use it on four or two corners of a larger image or photo or make the mini frame with it.

 Happy stamping!
