I decided to use different materials for my whites : textured paste, and the calligraphy inks, while my blacks (sorry it looks blue - it's just the lighting in the photo), are just exposed textured black cardstock. I love the contrast I achieved, and had tons of fun playing around with stencils to get the effect of stucco, and the dimension of the raised paste (which is actually soft to the touch)!
The calligraphy pen shown was perfect for this project, especially since it is a treasured gift from a dear friend, and fellow stamper. (She knows who she is - LOL). I enjoyed using it to hand write my sentiment.
I hope you will join us and explore the artistic contrast of black & white this week.
BIG swishy hugs,
Audrie

Audrie, hello. I'll be anxious to see what site you've chosen to come up with such a gorgeous creation. Black and white is a striking combination. This one definitely earns the 'blue' winner award. It's a standout in the gallery, my friend.
