Black and White Delight

These cards were a lot of fun to make as I've never had a request for all black and white before. I had no clue where to start, so I browsed SCS and combined a few ideas from there to create this set of ten thank you cards and coordinating envelopes. Big thanks to Jen for letting me borrow her Delight in Life stamp set which is from 2007's Sale-A-Bration as well as her Whisper White Craft Ink. Jen is an awesome stamper who before this weekend is over is hopefully going to be joining my downline! Yippeee!!! Between the two of us, I'm sure it won't be long before we own everything in the catalog, just in time for the new one to come out!!!
