just-us-girls-challenge-597-trend-week.html has a black and white challenge this week and I decided to try my hand at a black and white card slimline. Using my new dies from MFT I cut the circular floral pieces and after measuring the placements glued them to a white scrap piece. Added this to the same black CS and then onto the white card front. I then used the stamp set from the MFT kit called Friends Like You, to create the sentiment. Heat embossed in white and I added some black gems here and there to finish it off. This will be going to a good friend who is struggling with her hubby’s declining health. He has dementia and it is very challenging for her lately, although she never complains.
Beautiful! I have that set and found those dies to be a pain to cut. It looks like you had good results. Your friend will treasure this card.

I’m happy you like it Lisa. I used a thin CS for cutting these and had no issues. Paper was slightly textured so it gave a nice look.

Thanks Judy – I am so happy to be able to craft a few things although trying to find my stuff is a challenge. Managed to find most of my stamp sets and some stencils, but cannot locate EB folders yet.

Thanks so much Golda. You are great for my ego. I had to laugh at myself because when I sat down to start something yesterday I honestly couldn’t remember what to do about cutting a card front. I had to really think about it for a few minutes. It is like being a beginner all over again lol.

Thanks Gayle but unfortunately my craft room isn’t finished. Hubby was kind and has set up my tables and placed boxes so I can open them and look for stuff. Once I had my big shot and misti set up I could begin to make something. Can’t find my embossing folders but I did find my stencils and some pastes. Builder says he should begin installing by month end so we live in hope.
