Yesterday, we played with heat embossing as a technique in a black and white color scheme. Today, I wanted to elaborate on the idea of a black and white focal image and colored patterned papers.
PMS Peggy has to be one of my favorite edgy Unity stamp sets. I was especially fond of this set while pregnant with our youngest. It always made me giggle. There are two additional sentiments in the kit, check it out by using the link below.
This card uses a fairly simple recipe and you get a nice eye catching card with little effort.
The green patterned papers are from a Michael's green paper 6x6 from the dollar bin and I paired it with a simple focal panel of Peggy, stamped in black ink. I colored the heart on her belt red for a little pop of color, but other than that, this is a very monochromatic card.

I really like the green with the black and white! Great card! It's amazing how fast the week goes, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteThe GIU week always flies by. I probably should have asked for GIU the last 10 weeks of my pregnancy and then it wouldn't have dragged on like it did. lol.
DeleteLove your color combinations. Vibrant and striking.
ReplyDeleteThank you Susan. I wanted to show how it is unnecessary to have all the colors in something for it to be striking and colorful.
DeleteI seriously love this stamp....soooooo glad I have it!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm in love with Peggy... and the happiness fairy...

DeleteWhat a fun card! I love the green with the B&W.
ReplyDeleteMe too, Green is my oldest's favorite color and I always find myself using it... even though I prefer blue. ;)
DeleteI love the simplicity of this card. I just got this stamp with a recent order and can wait to use her.
ReplyDeleteyou could recreate this in mass quantities and really get good use out of Peggy...

DeleteGreen is my favorite color, so I love this one. I have this set, but haven't used it yet and until you popped the heart in red, I didn't even know it was in that image.

DeleteI love this card! Haven't been a huge fan of this stamp set but you might be changing my mind!
ReplyDeleteI've had her a while and this was the first time I inked her up because I wasn't sure what to do with her. She was more fun than I anticipated.
DeleteSo cute! I love black & white anything... perfect classic color combo with a punch of green!
ReplyDeleteBlack and White is a common go-to for me. And I think the green was just what it needed with this image. Thanks for the comments AnneMarie
