I am really not happy with this card, but it is hard to concentrate today. My son had a few kids sleep over and it is just crazy here. They are having a ton of fun but I have a headache! I was inspired by Jen Dierck;s great card shown below. What a fun card, I thought it might look really nice in black and white with a splash of color but it just doesn't stamp cleanly enough. I have never been able to get a solid image with this stamp and I have tried all the tricks. It looks ok but not how I would like it. I wasn't even going to post it but than I thought what the heck, you can see my blah cards too! Here is the beautiful card that inspired me...

Not a blah card! I like it with the black and white. Seems like I have a hard time getting a good impression with that stamp also. I love the colors that Jenn chose.
I love the B&W card! You did a great job, you are being too hard on yourself. Did you lightly sand the stamp when you got it? It should stamp smoothly. Anyway, I love the card and the tiny borders of color really make it great!
