Both have decorative backgrounds and small embellishments. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Every time Stampin’ Up! releases a new black and white designer paper, I instantly fall in love with it. Whether I leave it black and white, or I spend some happy hours coloring it, I love it either way.

My card ideas today showcase both… black & white, and colored in. I found that using my blending brushes and ink pads was a quick way to color in larger spaces on this Artisan Sketched Garden designer paper.

Two handmade greeting cards with black and white floral backgrounds. The left card says "Thank You" and features a gold vase with leaves and pearls. The right card says "Congratulations" with yellow, black, and white flowers and green leaves. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

All card bases are Thick Basic White, 4-1/4″ x 11″, scored and folded in half at 5-1/2″ (top fold card). The card above left, features 2 patterns from the DSP pack, each cut to 2″ x 5-1/4″.

I enjoyed using the new-ish Classic Labels pack for my greetings, or just for an accent layer to break up the patterns or colors.

The 2 cards above also feature some fussy cut flowers from one of the Artisan Sketched Garden sheets. They make such gorgeous card accents!

A pair of black-handled scissors rests on a table surrounded by cut-out, colorful floral and vase designs. The flowers are pink, yellow, and purple, with green leaves. "Patty Bennett PATTYSTAMPS.COM" is printed at the bottom right corner. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)
