PDCC66

Whew!  I'm just about late with this one!  I had very good intentions of making this challenge card before today but hey that's life!  I could not pass up playing along with The Play Date Cafe and their challenge this week........Black. White. + splash of color!!


I inked up this music background set from PTI for the first time!  Love this....going to be a favorite for sure!
This is pretty straight forward CAS card except that I kept trying to add more color and I had to keep reminding myself that 'Amy, it's a splash of color!'  So after having out purple inks and ribbon, I settled on these little rosettes from Michael's.  Just a splash!



Here's the inspiration photo from The Play Date Cafe.  I've also linked  this up over at the Creative Inspirations blog and the Stamptacular Sunday Challenge blog for their challenges too!

Perfection!! This is my kind of card. I love everything about it. I would be happy always making black and white cards with a pop of color, but everyone else would be bored after a while:)

And what a lovely splash it is, indeed. Such a pretty card. If your gonna ink up a set for the first time, you've got to ink it up right. Boy did you ever ink it up right. I love this CAS card. Sometimes I feel CAS are too CAS (read:sparse), but you've manage to fill it with all the right elements that are totally pleasing to the eye. Beautiful.
