Embrace the Black CardStock

Hello friends!

I don't know about you, but I rarely use black as background. Once in a while, when I do, I am often pleasantly surprised how beautiful it is to have all the images against the black card-stock.  

Today's project is one of those. I am using "Made With Love" as my example. This stamp set is a smaller set, but I find that it can be overlooked as the detailed lines from the roses are absolutely beautiful.  I also like to point out that this is a good starter set for a stamp, stencil and die combo.

just a note

I love to stamp and die cut flowers as many ones as I can in one session. This happened to be the case as well. I had made this previous project and still have a lot of leftover.

How-to: To arrange the black cardstock as the background, I adhered the roses and leaves accordingly on a piece of black cardstock first. Then I cut off the edges of the black cardstock and let the leaves and roses hanging off the edge.

For the sentiment, I stamped the sentiment on white cardstock. I then took out my old Martha Stewart hole punch (remember those?) and that was easy!

A few gold sequins were added to balance the arrangement and space.
