Last week I was suffering from a loss of mojo and my good friend Jen (Cobrielle) told me to case this card Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
but in black and white.
Yesterday, the challenge was to make a card with your least liked set. Well, polka dot posies is mine, I had to have it and it has sat on my shelf ever since, I just can't use it, or come up with anything that hasn't been done already.
So this is what I came up with. My under-used embellishments are definitely eyelets, I prefer brads, and my black and white gingham, I always use grosgrain. I also used all my under-used punches, word window, round scallop and small round, I had to have the scallop punches and I find them really hard to use! There is also a staple on there, lol!
I also hardly ever use black embossing powder, I always use black ink and clear embossing powder.
It is hard to see, but the sentiment at the bottom is a donut hole.
Sorry about the essay, lol!

Over-the-top fabulous! Isn't it funny how the things we use the least become everyone else's favorites when we finally get around to using them. Using black and white makes this card a major WOW! TFS
I really like this!! I have this set, too, and I think I've used it once for a black and white challenge (yours is much nicer). I'll have to get it out and try again (sometime). lol Great job on your part!!!

This challenge requires an essay and I've enjoyed reading all of them. This is really so exceptionally cute! I love it in B&W. I think you found a great way to use your scallop punch. Love the donut hole. Love it all!
