I love black and white and wanted to make an Oriental Card, so thought I’d make it in Black and White.  Sorry about the photo – it’s not very bright here today.

This one’s just ‘cos I can' – thought I’d make a card like everyone else does :)  It’s for a friend’s birthday, but she’s away now, so she won’t see it before it arrives.

Love both these cards Kath :) And you coloured in the second one beautifully. Maybe now we KNOW you can make wonderful cards in this style, maybe you'll do more???? Pxx

I have yet to try the easel card - yours if fabulous - great colouring.

And I have a big soft spot for Oriental and they suit black and white so well don't they - especially the way you have done this one
