What do you see? Do you see a black and white flower or do you see a ballerina putting on her dance shoes? It really doesn't matter when you're making the card. It's the impression that one has that one attempts to translate into a card.
I chose to use my modelling paste and a stencil of hexagonals to put a pattern onto a piece of Whisper White. Then I stamped a little bee in black Memento ink. On another piece of Whisper White I stamped the little flower from the Wondrous Wreath stamp set and used the coordinating framelit to cut it out. I glued that near the bottom left of the paste pattern. Finally I stamped "I Love You" near the top right of the card. Love those simple greetings from the hostess Good Greetings stamp set!
I used a base cardstock of Naturals White and then used the Woodgrain embossing folder on a piece of Basic Black before adhering that to the base. Then I attached the Whisper White piece and the card was done. Clean and simple and my impression of the photo.
