Well, poor Rauge is in deep...while trying to become a world famous designer, he's in over his head and the teapotters are here at the Taj Ma Lodge to help him out...seems black and white is to be the new "it" color scheme for fall.....for the rest of the scoop go here:
Must admit, black and white is not really my thing...really struggled with this one...ended up having to add a touch of color...and a little bling of course....I mostly let the dp do the talking here...it's loud enough by itself....stamped a flourish and then a flower embossed in black. cut out the flower a little out of the lines so could sponge a little color on it for definition. the flower is popped up on dimensionals...
TFL....

WOW Sheri... for someone who says black and white isn't her thing, you sure created an awesome card! LOVE that flower stamp... it's really cool popped up over the flourish, and the touch of yellow is just perfect! I know that Traci's parents will love this one... I sure do!

Maybe you should do the struggle thing more often. This is beautiful!!The little touch of yellow is fantastic, but it's that main flower stealing the show! Great job!

Not your thing? Are you on crack? Snort! This is awesome...so awesome...Guess what? I think black and white is your thing and you just don't know it and I intend to tell you that it is! Giggle! This is such an awesome card...I love how the teapotters are putting yellow with the black and white this week, its such a great combination! I think Rauge is on his way to fame! And he can leave his football at home! Woot!

Loud DP - that's not loud, girl, that's elegant!! And the flower is beautiful. Looks like we went the same way in adding most of our colour with a mat layer.
I'm enjoying that tea, and although my cough is worse I do actually feel a lot better.
Oh yes - it's getting cold enough in my attic that the socks are great too for when I do make it up here to craft. Hugs and some of your chicken scratches back to you.
