BLACK AND WHITE CAS

I found an offcut of the black and white DP and as it's one of my favourites, I didn't want to toss it in the bin, so this is what I made:


Really quick and easy to make, this card relies on the strength of the bold monochromatic palette.

Supplies used:

white CS card base
black CS mats
black white Dp offcut
sentiment
flatback pearl 
polka dot bow
freehand cut chinese rose

INSPIRATIONAL, #50,TIC TAC TOE ( FLOWERS, RIBBON, PEARLS)
