 I have used stampin up papers for this card I did it in several colours the just used the free die I got with a magazine added some ribbon and they are done.

Black & White

Here is a simple card that I have done on black card the white layer I embossed with an embossing folder I got free with a magazine and added 3 die cut butterflies and some black gems

This cute fellow is from alotta bugs and he is so cute I used different black & white background papers mounted on a white card 

 Black & white is always elegant looking to me here is a card I made using stampin up thoughts and prayers collection and did layers of black & white just did the edge with a punch and punch out some small black flowers using a CP1 Carl punch and a bit of white ribbon

 More Black & white this time for Christmas I got this stamp and embossing folder free with a stamping magazine and again just layered black and white and embossed the top white layer with the swirls embossing folder

another stamp I got in a free stamping magazine with this very cute reindeer I have used black and white check and add red ribbon for just a pop of colour
