Black & White w/ Flowers

I love black & white cards.  There is just something about them.  Maybe it's even because I tend to be black & white person....where things are either this way or that way - there isn't really much fuzzy area.  I think it starts off with my faith because I truly believe that there isn't any fuzzy area there - either you believe in God or your don't....Either you live for Christ or you don't.  So many times we try to live in that "fuzzy" area....where we step so close to the edge or try to live in the world.  But the Bible is clear about it.  I think to where Jesus was talking about the sheet and and the goats.  It's either or.  There isn't a middle ground.

I'm blessed to be part of a group of ladies over at Splitcoast Stampers called "Girls of the Bakers Dozen".  Every month we get an envelope that includes a a challenge.  This month the envelope came from Suzy and her challenge was to make a card using only black & white including flowers.  I used the image, sentiment, one of the papers, and some of the embellishments she sent...and added 1 piece of paper from my stash.  The sketch is from Unscripted Sketches #255.  Here's what I came up with:

and the inside.....

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:
Thanks for stopping by today!  God bless you!!!!!
