Black and White cards can be hard. But adding in a touch of a bright color makes it so much easier in my book. Plus adds some color to a classic look. The Along The Lines stamp set is a perfect one for this look. I hope you will agree.

STAMPS

The Along These Lines stamp set is a very unique set. I do not recall a similar one. Each image in the set is drawn with a single line to create it. As soon as I saw this rose I knew it had to be a star of a black and white card. And for the Black, White, & Strawberry of the title, I used the Strawberry Slush Stampin’ Blends to color the rose. I also added light Gray Granite for the leaves to mimic the shading of the leaves in the DSP.

To add a simple sentiment, which I really debated on, I needed a similar look as the rose. I found this “celebrate” in the Unbounded Love stamp set. It seemed to be a good match for simplicity.

DIES

The shapes for the images seemed to really ask for a bit of a frame. To create this I turned to the Textured Notes Dies. These Dies each have a different trim around the edge. I love this unique look, so it seemed the perfect choice. The rose is cut using the 3rd smallest Die. And the sentiment is from the smallest Die.

PAPERS

To create the Black and White look, of course I went with a Basic Black for the card base. The DSP sheets are all from the Botanical Textures Designer Series Paper. For the larger layer I used a Basic White layer behind it. Additionally the two black pieces with white leaves are also from the same DSP. They are angled to add a bit of fun to what otherwise is a straight card.

EXTRAS

Today the Extras are fairly simple ones. To further the “strawberry” just a bit, I added a double strand of Strawberry Slush Bakers Twine. This twine is a in a trio pack from the Online Exclusives suite. It is Pack Your Bags 3 pack Twine.

The single bling is very important and helps to highlight the rose. This silver sparkle is from the Adhesive Sparkle Gems. These are a great group of sparkly colors in neutral shades. They are very handy to have around.
