Things Are Not Always Black and White

5" x 7" Black Cardstock Base
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.


Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch used 5 Times and Glued Together to  Make It Really Thick
 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!

All stamps are retired CTMH images
Thank you for visiting my blog today.  I do appreciate your time and comments - Especially, since I'm learning something new and am a bit nervous about sharing my first attempt!
