Colours of life

Colors of Life
This is a simple Birthday card i made for my friend and son who is pillar of strength to me. His Birthday is on the 10th of October and when i asked him his favourite colours he said Black and White. That is the reason why i named it colours of life.

I never thought I could make something in Black and White but I was able to turn out a simple layered card with embellishments all in Black and White.
I took a piece of white card stock and folded it in two. Then I took a piece of black card stock and using a unbranded die the frame was cut. The four corners of the frame were embellished with white  dots. In the middle is the white flower the shape which i love so much.was adhered to the  centre of the card using foam squares.
The black and white felt piece was store bought. I adhered the sentiment Friends using a stencil as i did not have a word die or stamp with the sentiment friends or friendship. I wanted the Birthday card to be different, Hence the sentiment Friends. It was adhered using foarm tape squares. 

These are the dies that i used. The big die is unbranded while the flower die is from a Stamping, embossing and die cutting set from Couture creations. 

Above is the stencil and embelishments i used.



I added a belly band. The width is the width of the ruler. i had a black butterfly which i fixed using liquid glue.Belly bands add the sparkle to any card.

Tip
If you don't have something dont rush and buy, just put your thinking cap and i am sure you can come with something creative. Crafting is all about happiness.

This card will be a part of my friends gift of a stationery set and another card with the happy Birthday sentiment. Once i make the stationery set will upload pix but please bear with me as i am not the best photographer. Sorry friends i am learning.
Thank you and Blessings
