My CC card, using black, white and blue, is for my dear friend Kris. I met her on-line about eight yrs ago and we've been corresponding by email and phone, ever since. She has a heart of gold and despite going through many hard times that life has brought her, she has been a good friend to me. For the first time in 2-3 yrs, things are looking up for her and I am so glad of that.
My card is also to honor Jeannie (Jeannie1862), this week's FS378. I was inspired by this card. I kept the black, white and blue color theme. My blue dot bkgrd is watercolor stamped, not embossed. I made a floral panel instead of a b.d. cake panel. I left off the ribbon and brads. I tried b+w twine but it didn't add anything to my card so I didn't use it. I used one stamped heart instead of the three brads.
I was also inspired by this b+w potholder at World Market, our IC439 inspiration site. I stamped a b+w floral panel for my card and instead of pink, I opted for blue as my accent color.
THANKS for looking!

I really like the sweet, old-fashioned feel to rhis with your wonderful floral image and the spotted background, Gabby. Is that Gradation or one of their other spotted stampa? Whichever it is I've been noticing how cleverly you use it. I should get mine out and be inspired by you.
