This Thursday - its all about opposites

For this weeks "This Thursday" I chose black and white for a card for this challenge...I am having a bit of a vintage "spell". I really did enjoy making this and I really liked the end result, which is unusual :-)


I used one of those cheap 99p stamps for the right hand stamped bit at the back. The image was courtesy of a lovely site with free downloads of ephemera art-e-zine. The swirly stamp in the corner is from Papermania and the sentiment is Rubber Stampede and was stamped directly on the card. Then I just added a flower and some little glass gems.
