Hello Friends! I would like to begin by thanking all of you for participating in our birthday celebration. All of your entries were so cheerful and full of beautiful colors. So, are you ready to begin a new challenge? For challenge 142 at AAA Cards we are challenging you to create a clean and simple card with your design being One Layer + Optional Twist of Only Black and White.
Happy Birthday
One Layer + Optional Twist – Only Black and White
My card started with the idea to incorporate a background stamp. So, I partially stamped the background along the left edge. As a trim, I added stitched cardstock strips that I trimmed from a label die-cut. I thought this would make a great masculine birthday card. I wanted to keep my design on the left side of my card, so I incorporated the sentiment within the outer strip area. Black Soot Distress Oxide was used for both the image and the sentiment. All other supplies can be found below.
WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU PLAY ALONG WITH US AT AAA CARDS!

The tribal stamp was PERFECT for this challenge. Your card caught my eye right away with the black strip and the way you did the sentiment. Great design!

I saw your card on AAA Cards. I had to come visit to tell you how much I like it! I like the way you only used part of a background stamp & placed the sentiment on its side.
