OCC Challenge - a three part challenge!

Hey guys!  I'm here with a sample card for this week's challenge from Our Creative Corner.  This week we have a super-fun, three part challenge.  Make a card using 1- only black and white, 2- should include lots of texture, and 3- your focal point should be text instead of an image.  Got that?  I loved this challenge.  I always like when I'm giving lots of direction.

My favorite way to add texture to a card is probably embossing folders.  So, for my card I used 4 out of the 6 folders I have.  I used swiss dots, script, diamonds in the rough, and distressed stripes.  This card has a ton for layers, which is a little out of the ordinary for me.  I really like the textured white squares layered on the smooth white squares.

It was KILLING me that I couldn't use a pop of color.  I think a hot pink or red flower in the center would look great.  I do think this turned out to be a classy card that would be suitable for a guy or an anniversary or wedding card.

Okay, now that you've seen my card, head on over to Our Creative Corner and check out what the rest of the design team created.  It sure is fun to see all the directions this challenge will take even though we are all given the same instructions.  That's one of the things I love about this hobby!

I hope you all have a fabulous Memorial Day weekend!  Thanks for stopping by today!!!
