Black - White and Chalkboard

This card I made for the "Less is More" Challenge #101. the theme is

BLACK and WHITE

with a touch or a splash, a hint or suggestion, a dab or a patch of

a colour of your choice!

I used EK success punches and a Inkadinkadoo sentiment, which I embossed in white. The pearls I colored with a Sharpie marker, since I did not have them in orange - they are actually orange, not red.

The second card is made by my sister. Since she does not have her own blog I thought I upload it for her here. She really liked the chalkboard technique from Papertrey - and here is her fantastic card, just right for the Make it Monday challenge #98:

The stamps are from Papertrey "Harvest Berries", the frame she made outlining a spellbinders die. Not sure where the butterfly came from....

Your sister's card is also SO beautiful! Isn't the chalkboard technique SO FUN? Great job!

It's good to see you post to PTI. I usually see all your lovely creations at the Hero Arts Flickr group.
