Magnolia-licious Challenge #19

Hello everyone! This is a prescheduled post as I will be on vacation most of August and not around blogland very much. I will be on the net on and off though.  Just catching up on some R & R before the school season starts up and the cooler weather moves in. Hope you all have been enjoying your summer vacation and the sunny hot weather!

So, today at the Magnolia-licious Challenge blog, our color challenge this week is to use Black and White and/or Monochromatic colors. This was a tough one for me as I've never colored in monochromatic or just black and white colors before.  Here's how my card turned out:

I've had these 2 Magnolia images for awhile and never had that chance to use them. But when I saw the inspiration photo for this challenge, I had to pull them out. Here is the photo to inspire us:

Details:

Paris Tilda
Eiffel Tower - doesn't seem to be in stock at Magnolia-licious right now.
Postcard BG Stamp by Whimsy - Love To Stamp
Spellbinder Fleur De Lis Accents

Well, that's it for now. Hope you like my card today! Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!
