Black and White and a bit of Accent


I'm a guest designer for this week's challenge at Quirky Crafts, and I was lucky enough to get to play with this delightful image from Limited Runs...one of their fabulous sponsors.

My niece is expecting, hence the idea for my card, which is sure to bring a smile.   I've gone with a step card, using some DP from Basic Grey's Out of Print collection and black cardstock for the matting and leaves.  I even scrounged around and found a pretty black bow and matching buttons in my stash.  Now, if only having babies was this easy...we'd have more of them, right?   ha ha ha!

Now be sure to head over to the challenge blog and check out what the DT has to share!  There are some wonderful prizes up for grabs too, so why not give it at go with your Black and White card!
