SHOPPING OUR STASH #425 - Black and White

 Good morning and welcome!

It's time to start the new challenge at

SHOPPING OUR STASH!

Mimi is your hostess with the mostest this time around, and

she's looking for your black and white creations!

Here's what I came up with:

 

I bought this cover plate two years ago and it's the first time I've used it.

(face palm!) It's amazing what you find when you clean up and

rearrange your stash. LOL!

The panel underneath the fancy die cut was made using grey Magenta Nuance powder dye

and a water mister on Bristol paper.

Not exactly pretty by itself, but when you add the die cut over it, suddenly

it looks soooo dreamy! This was a labor of love. Even though I ran that die cut

through my machine at least 4 times, the very center just would not cut all

the way through, even with a shim. I got out the X-Acto knife and very

carefully cut those pieces out.

I re-discovered some pre-cut fancy strips and heat embossed the 

sentiment on one of them. Also found some ancient flower stickers

to add. I can't take credit for the design as I used this card as my 

muse. Just put my own spin on it. (Thank you Cathie!)

I hope that you find some time to play along at Shopping Our Stash

this fortnight. We'd love to see your take on the challenge. For more

ideas, simply visit the blogs of my teammies to see what they created.

Thanks for popping by. Have a great day!
