Simple & Black & White Swap

Hey ~ getting away from the Christmas stuff here....but here's another swap going out in the mail today!!!! The theme of this swap was BLACK & WHITE...then it was modified a little to be BLACK & WHITE or CLEAN & SIMPLE. I went with both!!!!

The strip down the side uses the GORGEOUS Night & Day Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the Holiday Mini Catalog. I made one of each - one side of this beautiful paper is a darker design and the other is more faded and floral.

It's hard to see - but the circle that says "Friend" is adhered to the inside of the card through a 1 3/4" window.... I LOVE WINDOW CARDS!

I decided to go with this one....I like the "fade-out" on this side of the DSP.
