Black and White for Isabella

The challenge this week at Isabella's Challenge is to make a card in black and white.  Only the Isabella image can be coloured.  This past Saturday was my Son-in-Law's 40th birthday so in honour of the occasion I made my card with him in mind.




I will be entering this card in the following challenges:

Pixie Dust Studio  - Going round and round
Lucy's Cards - Digital
Charisma Cardz - Going round in circles
Just Us Girls - Dry embossing
Digi Doodle Shop  - Anything Goes

The image from Isabella's Sketchbook is called Birthday Party and has been coloured with a combination of Prismacolor and Koh-I-Noor pencils crayons.  The papers and card stock are Recollections (Michaels).  The sentiment is computer generated.  Other supplies used:  Ink (Martha Stewart), Texture Plate (Fiskars), Star Dust Stickles (Ranger), Ribbon (Michaels) and Card Candy (Craftwork Cards).
