StazOn Jet Black Ink

Because of the Splitcoast Stampers directive to use humor for this week's "ways to use it" challenge, I got out my two Deep Red humor sentiments. I finished the first project. It came out very nice, with a more serious look about it, typical of a card I would make. For this sentiment I thought I'd add a level of complexity and use today's SCS Inspiration Challenge which is a minimalist challenge.
Ok, so for the second challenge, I needed to depict perhaps one layer, perhaps make it monotone, and have a majority of white space. Now in between each of these was an OR not an AND, but I thought I'd make a stretch goal for all three which is a huge leap for me, something this basic I've never even considered trying, but because of the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge I am going to go for it! Right off the bat, because my sentiment is quite large, it was already putting me at a disadvantage to try for majority white space. But I was able to look at minimalizing the embellishments. I chose StazOn black for the sentiment and Hickory Smoke Distress Ink for the "other" stampings. I made a decoder picture to help map out the meaning behind the elements on the single layer. Here's the decoder:
