Black & White Convention Swaps

Over the next few days I’ll be sharing some of the Black and White cards that I received from my Convention swaps. Black and White cards are always classic and a great way to start stamping since it doesn’t require a lot of supplies.

Traveler Convention swap 2014

This card was made using the Traveler stamp set, one of my favorites! I love the way that Cheryl used the Just Sayin’ stamp set to add the sentiment – how about you? It adds a taste of contemporary to these classic sets.

Want to see my Black & White card? I used the Traveler stamp set too – click HERE to see my swap.

Traveler On Film

Do you love black & white cards? I love the classic elegance of these colors together. Black and white cards are a great for new stampers too since it only requires a few items to create a wonderful project.

Traveler

I love the Traveler stamp set from the 2014 Annual Catalog. It has such great images that have a vintage feel and so that makes them perfectly to this classic color combo.

Traveler

I love the water so for this card I chose to use the ship. I started out thinking I would use our StazOn Jet Black Pad for this card, but since my NEW Memento Tuxedo Black Pad was laying on my table I grabbed it instead. I was pleasantly surprise when I stamped my image with it since it has a softer feel and made it perfect for this project. ( I just hadn’t noticed it when I’d been stamping line images for coloring with the Blendabilities.)

So what do you think? This is the second of my swap cards for Convention – I’m hoping they will love this card as much as I do!

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Traveler (134510/134513), World Map Background (130342/130345), and Something to Say (134177/134180)

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black Pad (132708)

Cardstock: Basic Black (121045) and Whisper White (100730)

Accessories: On Film Framelits (132969), Sponge Dauber (133773), Basic Rhinestone Jewels (119246), and Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430)
