Black, White & So Saffron

Hello! I'm much later today than I had planned, because I had a minor computer malfunction. I think I've got it all fixed now.

So, how was your weekend? Josh (my husband) and I and some friends tried a new restaurant called El Campesino. It's authentic Mexican, and based on the website, it must just be a local thing. It was pretty good and some of us even got free t-shirts (WooHoo, huh? But I love free stuff). I guess because it was Cinco de Mayo.

For today's "Black, White & ..." combo, I added So Saffron. I think it's a really classy look. I stamped the Stampendous flower with black detail ep and colored with three shades of prismacolor pencils and gamsol. The gamsol seemed to break down the embossing as well though, so I had to be careful. I probably won't combine the two in the future. All the stamping is done in black ep and I added a few rhinestones to the flower, swirls, and sentiment.

The goods:

Stamps: stampendous flower, hero arts sentiment, rhonna farrrer swirls

Ink: versamark

Paper: whisper white, basic black, petals and paisleys

Other: detail black embossing powder, rhinestones, dashes dots and checks ribbon, dimensionals
