This is for todays limited supply challenge. The challenge is to make a black and white card.
This card is basically made around scraps. I have a bag that has odds and ends, usually dsp scraps. I saw these two DCWV Sparkle (black) scraps and came up with my idea. Even the black flower is a scrap from another project.
I found a design I liked then had to find a stamp to go with it. I tried another stamp but didn't like it, when I stamped the flower from ever after, I thought, this is the one. Just enough black and white to make this an elegant card.
So now to assemle. I knew I wanted black ribbon, so I added that first, then my argyle piece, then stripes then my main image. The difficulty I found next was the placement of the flower. I added a white prima on top of it, with a black button brad.
After trying several different locations, I settled on the middle. I think it is cool. It balances the ribbon and the center panel.

Very pretty! Isn't it nice to be able to use some of the scrap papers? You made a lovely card with this image and flower.
