Daffodil and Black

I have made several daffodill and black, with some embossing for dessert, cards but only when this idea materialised was I completely happy. The monochrome papers are from Papermania and the ribbon is from my stash, but the flowers and sentiment are both Stampin'Up.  The flower is from Paisley Petals - I LOVE this suite of stamps and paper (I must get more paper as I've nearly used it all up). I stamped and embossed them and cut them out and added a few 'Sweet Buttons' from the embosslits dies, which emboss and cut out at the same time- simples! If you are wondering, the colours are this weeks challenge from the dynamic duos challenge.
