Two Cards

I'm not sure why I'm even posting these cards as they are really kinda plain. This first is for my Grandmother's 89th birthday this weekend. She doesn't like the colors pink, green, brown and probably red. She pretty much only likes blue, but I just had to use this ribbon and I went with a simple black and white color scheme. Next time I use this ribbon I'm adding some color with it!!



This card I made just goofing around. This is the first time I've actually used the lace stamp set. I pull it out all the time, but it never seems to make it to the finished product.


Okay off to eat some chocolate!

Details: all CTMH unless noted

Paper: black cs and white cs from stash, flowers from Unforgettable B&T

Ink: Black, Garden Green

Stamps: Fringed Phrases, Gracious Greetings, Lovely Lace

Other: ribbon (Hobby Lobby) colonial white brads

STOP the madness Mere...these are GREAT! Most of my cards lately have been plain and simple! That second card is just gorgeous. I have never seen that SS used!

Nothing with zebra/fringed ribbon should ever be called plain. I love them!
