By Simple Means Come Lovely Things

Welcome again to this week's Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge #176.  Please head over and check out other Design Team inspirations and join us in this week’s challenge using Black, White and Shades of Grey.   You have until Thursday, January 21, 2016 to create and link up your project…hoping for your participation. If you have never done a challenge before this is a good place to start…love to see what you create.  I knew the stamp set I wanted to use because it has amazing detail which would be so elegant in black and white with tones of grey.  




I stamped two in black and two in grey, heat embossed with clear embossment powder, fussy-cut the separate layers in alternating colors, and adhered each layer with 3D Thin foam tape on a white embossed cardstock which was framed in a shiny black cardstock.  






Die-cut Sentiment frame in the shiny black cardstock, stamped sentiment on White Daisy Cardstock, glued to frame and layered with 3D thin foam tape.   Added embellishments.
