This is my interpretation.....
The stamps are from Elusive Images
Brocade Backgrounds (UA4SP0239)
Birthday Words (UA5GW0257)
I have stamped the image on white slightly textured cardstock, partly off the page in Black Archival ink and heat embossed with clear EP.
To get the sentiment in the right place I have used a stamp position.
I have to say that despite my reservations of stamping straight onto the card - I love the effect!
Thanks LIM for pushing me!

I love these stamps and I too like the effect of stamping straight onto the card, just a case of being brave.

Beautiful card! The black & white is so stunning and elegant and those are beautiful stamps.
It DOES take a leap of faith to stamp directly on to your precious card doesn't it? but well worth the effort as this is super

ikki...I LOVE the elegance of the black and white...so pretty!
This card is really lovely - I think the desigtn would be perfect as a wedding card, too, especially since so many brides now use black as main color or as a color accent. Terrific work!
Fab card Eileen... piece of cake for a star crafter like you. You won't even blink at direct stamping next time!
Just super!

Stunning card, love black and white.
Wow I love this distinctive black and white look and off the card really works here, Eileen.
Oh, and also the new signature of "Ikki 2011" on it, just noticed it... you may have been using it all year but just stood out with this card and love the look of that too.. being into calligraphy such things are great... simplicity in itself great style, as always!!

I love this elegant style of card. The image is gorgeous and your sentiment perfectly positioned.
Very, very nice! Quite elegant, I think.
It is scary stamping straight onto the card but this looks like you had no trouble at all. Very elegant card. x
Oh Ikki this is fantastic. I love that stamp and you`ve done a brilliant job with it.

Very elegant and a fantastic stamp by EI.
very good card love the mono theme xx
Gorgeous card Ikki, image is beautiful.
Ikki, another fabulous creation! I love simple cards and black and white/creme look fab together. You have such great stamps from Elusive Images...are they still available? I think you posted that they had to close and then re-opened under a new name. I wonder if they still have some of these old stamps available for sale and how I would contact them.
