Simply Black and White

Hi friends!   I have two Black and White cards to share today that I made for challenges over on Split Coast.

My first card combines last week's CAS challenge -to use white on white - and the Technique Lover's Challenge - to use half an image or die cut.

I used half of my brandy-new Weathered Clock die by Tim Holtz on my card - layering it on the white panel with foam tape. I added the clock hands secured with a brad and also popped up on foam tape. And finally one lonely white butterfly.

My sentiment is from Butterflies are Free set by Rubbernecker

Thursday is Kent and my 15th wedding anniversary - we went to a Bed and Breakfast in CT - Old Mystic Inn,  this past weekend to celebrate - but we didn't exchange cards yet - so this will be my card for him with a special message inside!

 And here's my card for this week's CAS inspiration challenge - the inspiration was a pretty black bathing suit with white ruffles along the bodice.

 I went to look in my ribbon box for some ruffled white and came upon this cute little pom pom ribbon. I adhered it to the black cake with ScorTape. I adhered the stamped panel to a black panel embossed with Wicker Weave. Then I simply stamped CELEBRATE in the corner. This could be used for a wedding, anniversary or birthday don't you think?!  The stamps are from Eat Cake by Waltzingmouse.

I also entered these in the Stamp N Plus Challenge -  Black and White.
