Hey there! Last night I had a fun time stamping with several of my downline, the Yes, Mam! Stampers! I met a couple of new members, and connected with established friends. We stamped, shared, laughed, inspired, and challenged each other. I haven't been able to have a meeting for several months, but this one was so much fun, I already have another one planned for April!

Today's cards are a complete 180 from all the color of the past few days. I decided  to create using only black and white:

I combined the March-only SAB set, Nature's Perfection with the Build a Bouquet stamp set and a greeting from Blessed by God. This is simple stamping with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Whisper White, mounted on a Basic Black card base. The only embellishments are a single rhinestone and pieces of Stacked with Love Designer Washi tape.

The inside sentiment from the Build a Bouquet set is in direct contrast to the lack of color, I know, but one thing about stamping with just black & white – when you're done, you're done!

I tried this same layout and color scheme with the Sheltering Tree and Endless Birthday Wishes sets:

No, I don't know WHY I stamped the tree hanging from the sky, but for some crazy reason I like it! I added hello and spots from Endless Birthday Wishes because I really like the font of the word, and the spots could be stars, snow, birds, or whatever you imagine them to be!

Should try this same layout with the same stamps,  but with a riot of color? Hmmm.

Here's the combined supply list for these cards. You can find everything you need to try your own "study in black & white" in my online store:

http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/carolpayne/

139100 $13.95	139097 $17.95	137166 $33.95	119246 $4.95	137789 $4.95
121045 $6.95	100730 $8.50	137163 $24.95	137553 $13.95	104332 $6.95

This is probably the smallest supply list ever for two cards!

Don't forget:

When your order is at least $50 before tax & shipping, you get to choose a free item from the Sale-a-bration brochure or March SAB flyer.

Any online order of any amount will qualify to receive a Thank You Project Packet in the mail from me. This includes orders from the Weekly Deals, Clearance Rack, Occasions Catalog, or Annual Catalog.

That's all for now, until tomorrow, which is Stamper's Dozen Blog Hop Day, have a Stampingrox! day!
