Quilts and Cards: Another challenge!

Another challenge!

Lots to Do has posted a Black and White Challenge for this week.

I had a card that I made some time ago that fits the bill this week!

I began with a white card that I folded in half then trimmed the edge using a Fiskars edge punch. I then added a strip of black card to provide a level edge (with the back of the card).

Added a black and white ribbon and topped that with three medallions that I stamped and embossed with white embossing powder, then cut them out.

Added a Thinking of you stamped sentiment.

Favourite Tips

If you need a brad of a particular colour and don't have one, check to see if you have some embossing powder of the colour you want . Rub embossing ink on the top of the brad, then dip it into the embossing powder then heat set it. Use tweezers or a clip peg to hold the brad while you heat it.
When you are stitching on cards, make sure you are not sewing over the top of DS tape! The needle gets gummed up and won't lock the threads underneath.
Use zip lock plastic envelopes for smaller pieces of card offcuts that accumulate when making cards. Have one envelope per colour and periodically go through and trim up so they are ready for use on another card.
