A Black and White card

Good morning everyone.. a nice sunny here today in Malta finally.. but still we decided not to go to Gozo today.. much to my dismay :(  Hubby thought it best we stay home and not go out all day long as our older son will tomorrow be starting his A Level exams :(  Was so looking forward to go and to meet up with Pam and Lorraine again.. .. the sacrifices we do for our kids!!! 

Anyway.. thought I would share a card today that I was asked to do by a friend. Two friends of hers were opening a boutique and wanted a card to congratulate them and this is what I came up with..

Didn't have any nice ladies fashionable stamps, so decided to go for silhouettes .. thinking that black and white is in at the moment :)
Both the skyline and the leaves flourish (from which I cut out the flowers) are Memory Box dies, the corner die is DieNamics, while the square die.. to resemble a shop window, is a Spellbinders.

Entering my card in these challenges today
