Black and White Wedding

Just a quick card today as the girls will be walking in the door soon from school.
I had to make a card to RSVP to an upcoming wedding for the daughter of one of my neighbours. The invitation was made professionally on a black card with a silver embossed ivory cover sheet. The only two colours used were black and white. The invitation itself was very simple and elegant, and I really wanted to follow the same theme but struggled with just using the two colours. So rather than go completely different, I thought I would just highlight with some very faint colour and inject some silver to add to its formal occassion. Tell me what you think.

Materials used;

Basic black Card stock
Whisper white card stock
Fun and Fast notes Stamp set
So Many Sayings stamp set
Silver Stampin emboss powder
Top Boss Tinted embossing pad
Bashful blue stampin pad
Real red stampin pad
Aqua Painter
Stampin' Dimensionals

"Thanks SO much" for the FREE Stamp!!

I couldn't help myself. I had to go and get my $100 worth of Stampin' Up goodies so I could qualify for this gorgeous FREE stamp set called Botanical Blooms from the Sale-A-Bration catalogue. They arrived just before I had to go and do a workshop last night so I didn't even have time to play with them until now. I stamped the shadow image of the 2 step stamp in Really Rust and Old Olive and then stamped the outline with Close To Cocoa on Sahara Sand Cardstock. Then I used Choc. Chip card stock with Old Olive Grosgrain Ribbon on top and finished with a sentiment from the So Many Sayings, Hostess only set. What do you think? I think the colours go really well together and it was such a quick card to make too. Will be back later on with another new design. Happy Crafting.
