Color Dare #132 - Black & White Daisy & Whisper

Black and White and Grey... don't you just love this classic color combo?  My brain went in a million different directions for this one... fun, elegant, simple...  Pretty much anything would look good in this combo.  

• I created an over-sized square card out of Black Cardstock (1386).
• I stamped the arrow borders from the One-Way Borders (C1561) stamp set in Whisper (Z2172) and Black (Z2105) ink on a square of White Daisy Cardstock (1385).
• I stamped Hello Today in Whisper ink (Z2172) on a circle of White Daisy Cardstock (1385) then layered in on a circle of Black Cardstock (1386) with 3-D Foam Tape (Z1151). I used another layer of 3-D Foam Tape (Z1151) to attach the double layer to the Viewmaster slide.
• I stamped the Viewmaster in Black (Z2105) ink on a circle of White Daisy Cardstock (1385) then layered in on a corner rounded rectangle of Black Cardstock (1386) with 3-D Foam Tape (Z1151). I then attached the entire assembly to the card.
• Both the Hello Today and Viewmaster stamps are part of the Reel Life (B1431) stamp set.
