[Five for Friday] Back to Black and White with Amanda Coleman
Clean Canvas Collaborator
·
September 04, 2015
Happy September! Amanda here today with your Five for Friday Inspiration. Black and white offers a touch of class and sophistication no matter where it is found. I love the simplicity of black and white design, whether it be in my home or in my closet, or even in my pantry. Take a look...Black and white party decor? Check. You could pull out these black and white fans for just about any occasion.
Step aside, Oreo. These black sesame macarons take black and white cookies up a notch. They are almost too pretty to eat. 
Forget adding pops of color. Straight up black and white home decor is simply fantastic.
Home Decor (Source)
The fell in love with black and white drawings when first I saw a print of Picasso's Don Quixote. When I first visited my now-husband's apartment for the first time, he had the exact same print. We now have a handful of Picasso prints scattered around the house.
Black and white never goes out of style. I love the fun chevron twist on this classic black and white gown.
Dress (Source)
And just like that dress in your closet, black and white cards will always be in style, no matter the season.
The simple leaves from the Leafy Stamp Set really stand out in black and white. Cards come together in a snap when using a single color and are perfect for mass producing. Switch things up a bit by adding a burst of color by using a colored card base.
Thanks for stopping by today!
