Welcome to my first ever ‘Your Creative Connection’ blog post. I’m excited to have been invited to design along with this group of talented Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world, each one from a different country.
The theme for today is Shades of Black and White.

Shades of Black and White, means from Black through to White, with all the different grey tones in between. With that in mind, I picked out Smoky Slate card stock for the background and added our darkest gray, called Basic Gray in the punched out leaves.
The black and white plaid paper is from the Plaid Tidings pack of pattern papers. This is peaking behind the stitched leaf die cut from the Love of Leaves Bundle.

The new Iridescent Pearls are so shiny! They’re black with an added iridescent shine.
Next on our Creative Connection tour is Vicki Boucher from Australia.

Love it! The black and white checked paper is so cute peeking out from behind!
Great idea to use the plaid DSP in the leaf window!
