Wishing You Strength – by Esther Asbury
NOTE: Thank you ALL for your patience as we had some technical issues in the store yesterday and it was down most of the day as the tech guys were fixing things. ALL IS GOOD NOW and THE STORE IS OPEN!

Good morning once again! This week the Design Team was challenged to create cards that are either all black and white OR black and white with just a POP of color! We have some fun cards to share within this challenge this week and we begin with Esther’s lovely black and white card with a POP of gorgeous oranges in her floral.
Black and white always seems to work up into such classy projects and this is surely true here.
Even though this project has an overall country feel with the gingham checks and crochet lace, it still exudes class!
The lovely sentiment is from Sympathy Sentiments SET 2 by Stamp Simply Clear Stamps.
The tag is cut with Tag Collection by Tim Holtz (Sizzix).
The floral is die cut using Brushstroke Flowers #1 by Tim Holtz (Sizzix).
The black checked paper is from Farmer’s Market by Echo Park.
Similar white woodgrain paper can be found in Wood Textures by Craft Consortium.
Esther accented with Crochet Lace and Kaisercraft Pearls.
Esther stamped the sentiment in VersaMark and embossed in white.
Thank you so much, Esther, for this gorgeous card.
It makes a beautiful sympathy card but could be used for so many other purposes as well.
You can find Esther’s post on her blog here.
