Great make of your black and white card. I found not that easy, because I like full colors. But at last I did succeed to make one. Have a nice day, Ankie
Wonderful monochrome CAS card for LIM. Cute little ATC. Love both of them xxx
Love where you went with your LIM card, Kathy. The sparkle definitely takes it up a notch. I love it. Thanks for playing with us at Less Is More, always.
I love the elegance of the black and white pattern and with some wonderful sparkle Kathy, and the fun hippo on the ATC is so pretty in that teal blue, and some more pretty sparkle on the skirt and beautiful stencilling in the background too. x
Another fun Elephant card, thanks so much for sharing with us at Stamping Sensations September challenge.

I am really loving this very striking color combo and design. It's almost tribal in nature. Very cool. Thanks so much for playing with us at the Seize the Birthday challenge!
Like both your striking card and the ATC!
