Black, White and a Shot of Red


There is something about a black, white and another colour that really has an impact.  My card came together after I saw this photo from The Grommet site.


I started by adding some strips of washi tape to the background cardstock.  It is so easy to work with but sometimes I find I don't know what to do with it.  I think by having it on an angle adds interest.
The main panel is stamped in a 'grunge' theme using stamps from Impression Obsession and the hello is from Papertrey Ink.

Adding my card to these challenges:

Supplies:  stamps-PTI, Impression Obsession/ washi tape/ Memento ink/ enamel dots/ pop dots

    I love this mix! You have done a great interpretation of the inspiration photo, and the 3 dots and strips of washi are the perfect embellishments.

    I love how you were inspired by the photo, and the color combination - my favorite. In fact, my craft room is red, black and white. All your grunge cards have been wonderful.
