I have never felt very comfortable making cards in just Black and White - I am always tempted to inject some colour. However, I've stuck with the brief, and found that it's not quite as difficult as I'd made it in my own mind!
I have had a play with a gorgeous new stamp set from Stampin' Up! - it's called Serene Silhouettes. I white-embossed, on Basic Black card, the circular image. A second stamp from the set was used to stamp on the striped paper, in Basic Black ink.
Stamps: Serene Silhouettes, Teeny Tiny Sentiments
Card: Basic Black, Whisper White
DSP: Basic Black Patterns Designer Series Paper
Ink: Versamark inkpad, Basic Black stampin' pad, Jet Black Staz-On inkpad
Other: White embossing powder, 1 3/4" Circle punch, Perfect Pennants Bigz die, Beautiful Wings embosslits die, Basic Black scallop dots ribbon, Word Window punch, Modern Label punch, sponge dauber, Basic Rhinestones, Stampin' Dimensionals, Multipurpose Liquid Glue
