2009-02-17 Black & White swap, pocket silhouette

I signed up for some swaps and one of them happened to be a black & white only swap. I was just getting over the all gray swap and now this lol! I made my first scallop medallion (See the tutorial here) It was way easier than I thought it would be, so give it a try!

Since I was scalloping away, I centered the scallop punch on the boarder of the card; then punching until almost reaching the edge and stopping. That way it was even on both ends.

The image stamp is by Stampin’ Up, a stamp set called Pocket Silhouettes. I tried hard not to get it, but it kept calling to me so I broke down. The words are a sheet of unmounted rubber that I got at a convention quite a while ago. I believe the maker of the rubber is My Heart Stamps for You. The words, just in case you can’t quite make them out say “Why can’t all of life’s problems hit us when we are teenagers and know everything?” Ain’t it the truth lol!
