A challenge at Flourishes

It's been too long since I played one of Flourishes challenges, and though I don't have any of their stamps here with me in Florida, they say it's okay to use anything we have to play along; I so appreciate that, as many other challenges don't extend that courtesy!  This week our challenge is to make a card using Black and White and 1 other color as a pop.  Here's my entry:


supplies: white cardstock, Webster's Pages black script design paper, Doodlebug Designs Cupcake grid design paper, Hero Arts S5101 Raindrop Background, PTI Spring Jar Fillers, and tiny tags die, Versafine onyx black ink and clear embossing powder, Michael's pink gingham ribbon

I love how the two different papers in the background complement each other. Sometimes it's hard to find a good match, but you definitely did!
