Just Add Ink 71 - Sympathy Card

I am once again participating in the Just Add Ink Challenge. This week's challenge, JAI 71, is a colour challenge...Black & White. Simple you might say. Well not as simple as you would first think! It was harder than I thought using only two colours. I kept wanting to add another colour in, but stuck with the challenge of black & white.

So I did a Sympathy card (not a type of card I make very often, so struggled a little with what is appropriate in these situations)...


As usual, I have gone for a Clean & Simple style. The butterfly stamp is a sneak peak of a new stamp set that will be released in the new Idea Book & Catalogue in September. It is my favourite butterfly stamp so far. I have used a Big Shot embossing folder and the beautiful black satin ribbon and a little rhinestone jewel in the centre of the butterfly (a little hard to see).

Speaking of Simple, don't forget to check out the all new Simple Aussie Girls blog for some great Simple Scrapping Inspiration!

Thanks for stopping by.
