I love it when a card comes together quickly for me! Typically, I labor over my cards a long time. For this one, I die cut two pieces of white card stock with the Big Scalloped Square Nestabilities. I then scored 1/4" from the top for the back panel so it will stand up easily when I adhere the front and back together. I wanted a silhouette image, so I used this Weeds image. Can you see the bee (brad) hovering over the weed? I love this pretty Spring yellow ribbon from the Welcome Spring collection from RRR and ruffled it up with Scor Tape. Isn't it a striking contrast against the black and white?
Supplies I used:
Stamps: Weeds and Sentiment by Rubbernecker
Paper: White, Black, and houndstooth designer paper
Ink: Versafine Black
Accessories: Big Scalloped Square Nestabilities, bee brad, RRR yellow ribbon, Scor Tape.

Oooooh, this is ADORABLE!!! Love it!!!
Absolutely stunning, Charlene! I LOVE houndstooth and the yellow looks super with it. Love the 'weeds, too.
Just beautiful, I love the yellow ribbon gathered up with your black hounds tooth paper.
Love that bright yellow ribbon against the black and white Charlene - stricking indeed! What a pretty shaped card - and cute bee! Loved your other cards on the ribbon blog as well! Congrats on being the guest designer today!
That's a smart way to make a shaped base, I'll remember that. I usually cut on the fold and then make a full front, which uses up more card. Love the pop of the yellow on the black and white houndstooth.
Congratulations Charlene! THis is FABULOUS! LOVE the white/black/yellow combo and that little bee!!
Charlene,
Beautiful and elegant. I have a winter suit that is made from this exact style of black/white houndstooth - and I love that pattern! Congrats on being a guest designer for RRR!
