Black, white & silver

I've just finished making my thankyou cards, I didn't need too many this year because I saw a lot of my relations over Christmas and thanked them personally :) but I did need a few, including one for Ed's brother so I had to think masculine! I wanted to use these new stamps I was given for Christmas by my soon to be sister-in-law, and here's what I came up with:

I kept the card as simple as possible really, stamping the design four times in black and then once in silver, which I embossed with silver powder. The sentiment is embossed the same way, matted onto black card, and that's it! I do like a nice clean & simple card now and again. Although I think I need a new black inkpad, the images could be blacker.



I'd like to enter this card into the Annabelle Stamps challenge, which is black, white & silver this week.
