Black Calla Lilies.......

Hello everyone: As always, I hope and pray you and your families are well in these very difficult times, please take care of yourselves and each other.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The SHOPPING OUR STASH new challenge is one of my favorites, so I hope it will be one of yours too.  For the next ten days, my teammates and I want to see cards with BLACK AND WHITE images.

I was going to stamp this image from an old Flourishes set called "Calla Lilies" on white card stock with Black ink and just add shading with a black pencil but, I felt a bit adventurous and decided to do the opposite, stamp the image in white ink and color it with a white Prismacolor pencil, to me it looks like the negative of a picture. This is a Sympathy card, we don't like to create these cards but it's good to have some at hand.

A Second Set of Twofers.....

Hello everyone: Well, I'm happy to see there's still time to sneak in The Twofer Challenge with these cards, both created using an old 

Flourishes set called "Calla Lillies"

And here they are individually.

This is a Bridal Showe Card.

When I was growing up, my sweet maternal Grandma had huge pots of these flowers in the patio and little backyard of her house, these flowers were all white with the bright yellow center, I never saw Calla Lillies in any other color.

I colored these flowers with Prismacolor pencils, the sentiment is from a retired SU set called "Teeny, Tiny Wishes", the filigree die is from Mariane Designs.

*******************************************************

This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.

The sentiment is from a retired SU set called "Hand-Penned Holidays", the border from SU "Delicate Details".

***********************************************

Here's my Twofer.

This is a Sympathy card.

Once again I used my Prismacolor pencils, I really love how the white pencil makes the card stock even whiter. I decided to use browns instead of black for my card base and pattern paper, I think it gives this card a softer look. 

The sentiment is very simple, stamped with gray Stazon ink.

I thought about using a few pearls but decided to let the flowers stand-alone.
