Theme Thursday " Black and White "

"For the last couple of weeks I have been trapped in black and white mode . Everyone else was  doing " Spring " but not me I was in my silhouette period and I couldn't get out of it ! Believe you me I was loving it and it was getting a bit addictive . Finally I entered a challenge at the weekend with the theme  Brown ! This was It I thought I had finally been given the push I needed to move on ,so I entered the challenge.

Not much of a progression admittedly but I was off black or so I thought,  but low and behold what met my tiny little bloodshot eyes yesterday themethursday.wordpress.com were having a black and white challenge ! So I just couldn't  resist now could I ?


On a piece of shiny card stock I have used one of my favourite Crafty Individuals stamps which I then embossed with black embossing powder. I cut out a little cupid with my Silhouette machine and printed another of my favourite Japanese images onto acetate . I placed this over the images and matted onto black card.

So for anyone who's been following me lately it's not my fault honest ! Promise to do something a bit brighter with more than two colours and without acetate..............
