The challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments Paper Crafting Challenges is a color challenge.  Here are the colors we were to use.

When I am trying to make a card and not sure which direction to go, I usually grab black and white.  I can than add any pop of color and I have a great card.  Black and white goes with any color so I knew I could come up with a card using the challenge colors.

We have some great black and white products in our catalogs now.  The True Love dsp is all black and white and consists of flower images and patterns.  I paired this paper with the Black organdy glittered ribbon.  This was the perfect base for the card share for today.  Here is my idea for Black and White with a Pop of Color.
