Neutral Colours Card - H2H Challenge

The challenge this week at Heart 2 Heart is to create a card using only neutral colours. I adore bold, bright colours so much that I really had to think about this one. Ultimately I decided that if I couldn't use any "real" colours, then I would go simple - just black and white. I think the embossing helped to give the card some "oomph", although I went through a few sheets of sandpaper to get right down to the white core of our cardstock. And the bling gems add a bit as well. They are coloured black in the centers, though, just to stay with the black and white theme.
Enjoy, 
Alyson
