Hi everyone! It seems like forever since I have participated in a challenge over at Splitcoaststampers so I was thrilled to do yesterday's Clean and Simple Challenge, CAS15. The challenge was to use Black, White and a Bold Bright. I chose Real Red as my BB as I LOVE this color combo. I also needed an anniversary card for a party we are going to this weekend for my DH's cousin. She is celebrating her 25th wedding anniversary to her hubby.
Here are some details on the card: I used the Papertrey set by Melissa Bickford, Wishing You. I stamped the tulip stamp in Pure Poppy ink on PTI White and cut it out with Oval Nestabilities and then layered it on a Basic Black Scallop Oval Nestie. The ribbon is Fresh Snow Satin Ribbon and the polka dot dp is the Pure Poppy Bitty Dot (has become an addiction....) that was scalloped with the Scallop Edge Punch. It's pretty straight forward! Nothing like a clean and simple card to get your creative juices flowing!
I also wanted to let you know that Verve is having a release party of some new fabulous stamps this Friday night at 9:00 PM EST in the Verve Forum on Splitcoast. I have started working on some samples but can't show them just yet! The sneak peeks start this Wednesday, May 20th, on the Verve Blog!! Woohoo! You don't want to miss it!
I hope you have a fantastic Tuesday and thank you so much for stopping by!

Jackie!!! I found this colour challenge to be tough, I don't know why but you rocked it!

This is gorgeous. Red is definitely my favourite colour for pairing with black and white.
