Black and White

Couldn't sleep, eyes tired but mind too active so I got up and made Chas his birthday card.  I am entering this into the Play Date Cafe Challenge this week, set by my friend Sarah.  It is Black and White with a touch of green.


Not a clue when I started which stamp I was going to use so went in my drawer marked "men" and found this one from Art Journey which I bought at Stempel Mekka a couple of years ago.

Stamped it in Archival Black and embossed with clear ep then mounted on some black cs and then on another white piece which I stamped randomly with some leaves from the same plate.  Next I mounted it on more black with bits cut out and then on green cs.  A final mount of black and it was finished apart from the "Happy Birthday" which again was stamped and embossed in black.

So that is it - got to hide it away for another week so he doesn't see it, now to find him a present.
