C4C210 It's Not All Black and White...

This week's challenge at the Crazy 4 Challenges blog is to make a card using black, white, and one more color. I decided to go clean and simple, and since I was just NOT ready to let go of Halloween, I used a Halloween color scheme, but didn't end up making a Halloween card...I'm a connumdrum. I also did this for the TSG weekly challenge, to use leaves...hey, leaf dies count!!

So, for my card, I used the GORGEOUS Henna Swirls set from There She Goes, and paired it with a sentiment from the new Happy Fall set from There She Goes. My flowers were stamped on Smooth White cardstock, and then colored with Copics. I used some MME Happy Haunting paper, which I paired with Orange Fizz, and Black Licorice cardstock. My ribbon is MFT Orange Grosgrain, I used Michael's brads, and my leafy flourishes were cut from the MFT Leaf Filled Flourish Die-namics.

Well, that is it for me for now! Thanks for stopping by, and have a great day. Be sure to check out the other girls playing along on the C4C blog, and then check out the There She Goes blog to play along there, too.
