Black & White in a rainbow?

Well of course there is Black & White in a rainbow....at least there is in the Rainbow Swap on SCS!  LOL!!  This afternoon, instead of a Sunday afternoon nap, I spent some time in the card room.  I was all alone there today too - even my little Boots Kitty was napping!  But because the house was quiet I was able to whip up the next set of cards for the Rainbow Swap.  Keeping with my goal this year of using stamps I haven't inked, I pulled out a set I bought this last year from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps called "Together Silhouettes".  I loved this set when it was released but have never used it.  Why is it that we do that - buy stamps we love and then never use them?  I'm so bad about that.  Anyway, moving on, I thought it would be perfect for the black & white theme.  The paper I used was from my stash.  Now don't go thinking that I can cut a perfect circle cause I can't!  But my tried and true Cuttlebug can cut those circles perfectly every time using Nesties!  Lastly, pop on a few pearls from Darice - and there you have it.  Not only can I not cut out a circle, but layouts are something that are not in my vocabulary either.  So when I saw the challenge at Inkspirational Challenges was a sketch - how could I pass it up!?  This is the sketch:

 

 
Isn't that a great sketch??  So here is my Black & White card inspired by the sketch:
 
 
 
I didn't take a picture of the inside, but it's white and from that same stamp set I used the sentiment that says "I'm so glad there is you". 
 
Don't forget to come by tomorrow for my announcement....I'll give you a hint....it's something I never thought I would ever do!!!  See you tomorrow!  God bless you on this beautiful Sunday!

Oh how fab you got to use an un inked stamp. I have some still and have no idea why we do this! The image is great and your choice of papers works perfectly. Thanks for joining us at Inkspirational

Zella, What a great card. I can see why you love that stamp. I tried to comment last week and my computer would not post the comment to your blog. Let's see if this comment posts. By the way I live near Findlay, Ohio.......

I love stripes, I love spots and I love silhouettes, and your card has 3 out of 3! I like how you've put everything together - great clean design!
