... This year one of my goals is to develop my stamping skills. I came across this challenge the other day and though I'd join in- just for fun!
The challenge was to use only black and white, and to make something for a man. Well, I don't know how manly my card is, but it's definitely black and white! At first I used white on black by embossing with white embossing powder, but I didn't like it-my white embossing powder is kind of creamy and not pure white, and it just didn't look right. So instead I just simply stamped with black ink onto white cardstock. No fancy techniques, but I'm happy with the card, perfect as a 'Greetings from Scotland' card. I don't know the make of the thistle stamp, but the check one came from Scrapagogo as part of a kit. I love it's versatility!
Anyway, here's the card:

Love everything about this card, Pam!
I think that the image says it all and it is manly enough for me Pam. Love the check with the thistle - these stamps go great together.
Thanks for joining in with us at JFF, hope you come back another week.

The stamp is almost certainly Crafty Individuals and is one of my favourites. Makes a great card for a man, your black and white has worked out perfectly. So glad you found and joined us at Just for Fun XOXO Zoe
