I've wanted to "do" collage for a few years but have never tried it until today. This is my first timid foray into this art form... and it is a small attempt, I'll admit. The bottom rectangle was stamped with a small chevron stamp (several times to make a background.) I stamped a few other images onto white tissue paper and then adhered them to the background. Then I stamped the small bird and the flower on white cardstock and placed those on top of the other images. I typed the words onto vellum and popped it with dimensional foam.
The rest of the card is my more traditional approach. :-) Traditional stamping, embossing, die cuts, etc.

The meaning behind the title is two fold: My dd1 is facing a lot of big decisions in her final year at college. Logically, all is easy - it is black and white. However, when feelings are involved - It isn't always black and white. Your heart colors your perception.
The second meaning is because of the SDC Challenge - Black and White and a Hint of Color!
