Another Black & White

Hi everyone,

Another post already!  I am on a roll this week..

This one is for the Joanna Sheen black and white challenge: http://joannasheenchallenge.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/black-and-white.html

and House Mouse & Friends Challenge #HMFMC138 - "I Love You *Sew* Much!"
http://housemouse-challenge.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/challenge-hmfmc138-i-love-you-sew-much.html




The image is from Joanna Sheen's House Mouse Project Book 1, I just printed it in greyscale.  The black and white patterned background is some Kanban cardstock (I believe) from my old stash  cut into strips.   I gathered and stitched some cotton lace to a strip of black ribbon to make a border, added some Kort & Godt pearls, some papermania black gems, a little ricrac braid and a white ribbon bow to embellish.  The little heart charm is from a tiny craft shop (a holiday find) and the scissors from a poundshop, (I put the scissors on a little chain to make them dangle and give some movement).

Thank you for looking
