Black and white and blingy babe!

How does the old joke go?  What's black and white a "red" all over?  A Newspaper! budump-ching! (Sorry...had to get that out of my head.) This card is hopefully more exciting than the newspaper.  The card is for two challenges.  The Saturday Sketch Challenge over at Stamping 411, and The Play Date Cafe Color Challenge which asked for black and white along with silver and gold.



I changed the sketch a bit to make a larger square card .  Here's my interpretation. 



I had a hard time getting the gold in there until I found an old bracelet that my M.I.L. gave me that had fallen apart and made its way into my bling box.  Waaa laaa, some gold! It's hard to see in the picture, but there are crystals in the corners, and the stamped image is done in a mix of black embossing powder and iridescent ice powder, so it shimmers when the card is moved.  My daughter, bling lover like her mother, really liked this card.  It will have to be one that is given in person since the USPS would charge me an arm and leg to send it and then probably crush the stone.  But that's okay, 'cause a card given in person can be given along with the hug!

Thanks for popping in today.
