Today's card was inspired by the Challenge over at City Crafter,
where the theme is Black and White....
My loyal and good blog friend Ros from Ros-Mikeysmom Blog
has been on the design team there for seven years
and this is her last inspiration post.
I shall miss her unique and creative style and wanted to show my support.
This card is for her...
Cas-Ual Fridays challenge is Tic Tac Toe so that was was inspiration too.
I started with the horizontal line at the top
I stamped the black horizontal stripes with my trusty Misti first.
The butterflies have also been stamped
and masked to get the white heat embossing on the black.
I then popped on the spiky stencil, masked and black embossing paste
and just before it was dry heat embossed white powder,
which gave a lovely texture to it.
I finished with stamping the sentiments.
At this stage it was all on one layer, which I was so pleased about.
However....the heat embossing and black paste made the mixed media card stock
warp, so I had to go onto plan B!
I added the dry embossed grid layer and now it's the vertical line on the right.
How lucky was that?
It is one of those cards that looks like I made it quickly but boy did it take me ages.
And...I loved doing it!!!
Just wanted to say Thank You for all the inspiration Ros x

This is awesome, Mac! Love the black and white and the wonky layers! Sometimes things don't turn out like we want them. They turn out better!
Love all the b&w - the stripes with the butterflies - beautiful!!!
It doesn't look quick to me! That level of precision is very technically skilled and I think it' a fabulous card. Thanks for joining in at City Crafter.

Great black and white card! I had to take a closer look and zoom in and so on to really appreciate the lovely details. What a lot of work for this card, and it turned out beautifully!
A fabulous card Mac. I always think that black and white cards look quite dramatic and really have a great impact, as does your card here. I especially like the butterflies and It's good to read that Ros loves it....me too! Crafty hugs, Sandra x

What an incredible monochromatic design!! Absolutely gorgeous card!
What a very impressive design here Mac!! I really love the black and white concept with the beautiful butterflies covering the front!! HUGS :)
Such an original design - love the mono look. Great rescue BTW - don't you think sometimes it improves your original design?
Wow Mac, this is gorgeous! Absolutely amazing work with the masking, I would have thought this was just one big stamp! I love the flow created by the line of butterflies, such a lovely and natural design layout!! sending hugs :)
Yes it does look like a fairly simple card but you can see there is more to it when you look closely. What an amazing result you achieved here. I bet it looks fabulous IRL. Very clever layout.
What a beautiful card Mac and black and white is just so elegant. I love the black stripes with the white spikes on them and then the very prettily embossed butterflies. x
This card looks so great. It certainly does not look like it made you trouble. It's perfect!
Hugs,
