OLW and a Stamping First

It's Wednesday, and you know what that means.  Time to make a one layer card!  Susan's challenge was to make a black and white card with just a spot of color.  Having little color, with lots of black and white tends to make whatever is colored pop.  That can make for a striking card.

At first, I was only going to color the spider's treat bag, but the rest of him (her?) got lost.  So I have two spots of color instead of one.  I think it was necessary, though, to complete the image.

Tho photo doesn't show it, but the spider is embossed to give it a little texture.

And now for my stamping first.  See those brackets around the sentiment?  That is something I have never used before.  I have never really understood the need for all the brackets I see, especially in scrapbooking, because I am more of a literal person.  Grammatically, you don't need brackets, so therefore it doesn't make sense to me to use them.  Unless of course, it is for a design element.  I finally figured that out today!  The sentiment was just floating out in the middle of nowhere until I added the brackets.  Now it seems grounded and is very much a part of the whole picture.

I like that.

And I need to loosen up!
