Wow! Anne, you took this challenge literally! Your black and white creation is just beautiful! Great bamboo background -- I like the bit of sanding that you added.

Your embossing and sanding technique in the background knocks this right outta the ball park! You Go! You choose the perfect stamps too! (You know I will have to find them and buy them myself!) Thanks for playing and sharing your wonderfully inspired inspiration card!

Wonderful, Anne! The sanded embossing looks fabulous and I just remembered I have that same ink bottle image. Anita's/Sugarloaf was located here when they were in business and I ended up w/ a ton of their stuff for next to nothing, lol.

Anne!!!!!!! What a perfect card....each element so artfully selected to tell the story of that oriental fountain pen! Beyond wonderful!!!
As a side note, when I was looking at my images...I had three bottles of ink...I skipped the spilled ink....so glad you used your today...wouldn't be have such fun being neighbors and inking together.....
