Welcome
I recently taught how to use scoring to add interest to a card, and in the same class, I wanted the participants to just use black and white and a touch of colour.
I needed another sympathy card, so that's what I made.
I stamped the large image from the SU set 'Lovely as a Tree" in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, and also the sentiment (an unmarked stamp) Unfortunately as they are both wood mounted stamps, I could not repeat the stamping, so the images are not as crisp and black as I would like.
I added a wee touch of olive green under the trees with my Polychromo pencils.
Here you can see the scoring that I added - there was also one scored line above the image. the scoring added interest without detracting from the image and sentiment.

Brilliant black and white card Maxine, very classy.x 💖 [Aussie aNNie's Blog]
Such a pretty card, Maxine, with a well-loved set!
I think the one stamping of the tress with the touch of green looks great. The scoring is one of those fun things that we used to do all the time before cards were embossed with folders Such a fun but easy way to add interest to a card. Blessings.
Very elegant sympathy card, Maxime.Love the beautiful tree stamp.

Beautiful and elegant card. The scoring is perfect and such a classy card. I've taken off most of my stamps now from the blocks so I can repeat stamp with the glorious Misti x
This is still one of my very favorite stamp sets. Love your card and the scoring on here looks great.

This is really pretty! I also like that stamp...to me it's just timeless!
Fabulous card, Maxine. The scene is beautiful and I love the tree shapes. Your card is so elegant. Kisses, my friend.
This is one of my favorite stamps and I love it with just the bit of color under the trees, Maxine! The scoring adds so much!
Hi Maxine, a beautiful sympathy card, love the way the scored lines add interest without extra bulk to the card, I think your stamping looks fine, the way it is, looks like the trees are further in the distance.... have a wonderful week... Megan

Very elegant Maxine. I like the touch of color. And love the scoring too. Hugs, Fran
The scoring adds a great detail of texture, and I quite like the softer stamping on the trees, and especially for this type of card. The slight touch of color on the grass is another nice subtle detail. It's very pretty and most appropriate for the occasion that you needed - Well done! TFS & Hugs
Love the black and white with the soft green touches, Maxine. You've used the perfect image ... this is the BEST stamp SU! has ever made. The score lines add lots of detail and dimension. Great design! xx
Totally elegant Maxine. The scoring is great
Super make and it is both suitable for the occasion and splendid for the LIM challenge brief

Thank you for your visit and kind comments on my card, Maxine.
Your card is very dreamy and classy and I like the not - so - crisp stamping as it adds much charm. The scoring looks very well matched. Super card.
Love,

What an elegant card! Sympathy cards are never fun to make but I would say you nailed it. Thanks for playing along with us at CWS Challenge.
A great stamp to use for a black and white design, Maxine, and the easy scoring does add a ton of interest! You used one of my favorite tree stamps ~ might be the very first SU stamp I bought and it has survived a dozen purges!! Hope you are doing well! Hugs, Darnell
Beautiful card. Like everyone else, dislike making sympathy cards. Yours is so elegant and classy.
Beautiful card Maxine, I have these stamps and I know that I should use them.
hugs
