Is it really all Black & White??

I didn't get to post yesterday, as I had to work 12 hours!!! It wasn't really busy, so the time really dragged by! I spent the entire shift doing Telephone Triage. Didn't really have any interesting calls. I did have to send the police to check on a patient who was very depressed, and it turns out the ambulance took him in for evaluation. So...maybe I saved a life!!

Yesterday was a sad day, though, because it was 8 months that my Dad died. I thought about him all day long. The pain will never go away, I just hope that some day most of my thoughts will be happy ones instead of sad ones.

Well, to get on with my challenge card. Kelly had so many beautiful cards to pick from it was a hard decision. I finally came up with this one. I didn't have any designer paper in Black & White that I really liked, (so I guess I'll have to shop again!) so I made my own with "It's Beautiful", the jumbo SU Wheel, for the top part of the card, and "Background Basics" for the bottom part. It's not as dark as I would have liked. Then I made multiple layers of black and white and added ribbon on top of that . I then used "Warm Words" to stamp the word "Wonderful" and used the SU Oval punches to punch out the word and the black background. I added 2 brads and silver stickles to it too.

For the flower image, I used "Tags'n More" and of course, had to use Purple to color in the flowers. I used the Scallop punch for the image and the black background, then layered that on white and black again. I used the Ticket corner punch on the white, and layered in on black. I added white button brads and silver stickles to the corners. Then I added some final silver stickles to the flower image and the ribbon.

Well, that's it for today. Have to get ready for work. Only 8 hours today!!
