Stampsmith Challenge for April!

Hi Dreamers!
Happy first day of April!!  And, that means a new monthly challenge on the Stampsmith Challenge blog.  Thanks to everyone that left challenge ideas in the comment section of the Challenge blog!  Barbara W and Stamper Sue both suggested Black/White with a splash of color.  So, guess what!!  That is the theme that has been selected for the month of April!

Black and White with a splash of Color

With a least one Stampsmith Stamp

I went to work and came up with my Design Team creation using a stamp from the "It's a Dog's Life" Full Sheet.  Of course I used black and white ---- with a splash of RED.  I made this card a Flap Fold design.

Here you can see how the flap extends out over the front.  The Sentiment is from the "Say It Like It Is" Full Sheet.

• Flap Fold Card Base: Cut a base 4 1/4" x 9 1/2" from CS
• Score at 4"
• Make the center piece large enough to overlap the front.  I made my center piece the size of the image plus four layers.  3 1/2" x 5"

This is what the layout looks like from the inside:

Flap(black)                               Score                       Inside

Another look at the overhang.

• Stamp the puppy and kittens with black dye ink on glossy white CS.
• Layer with red and black CS
• The black/white DP is from My Mind's Eye

• Stamp sentiment with black dye ink on smooth white CS.  
• Add a red satin bow

Inside

I have plenty of room on the inside to stamp another sentiment or write a note.  Very fun!!   Get out you Stampsmith stamps and make your own black/white with a splash of color project!! I can't wait to see what you come up with!!  Link up over on the Stampsmith Challenge Blog.
