Love Never Fails

This card, in just black and white, is a departure for me from my usual style.  The challenge over at Less is More is to make a CAS card inspired by their blog banner, which looks like this-
I thought the jar of roses looked very similar to the roses at the top of the banner, and it reminds me of an old fashioned etching.  The size and style of the font on the "Love" sentiment is also much like the font on the banner, so I combined both these stamps from my June Unity Kit of the Month.

I feel like I need to add some color to those luxurious roses, so you will be seeing this flower stamp again when I try it out with some watercolors!   I am also entering this in the Moxie Fab World Love Card Challenge.

Thanks for stopping by.
