I am trying to catch up on things around the house since I have returned from San Francisco. And, of course I have to catch up on all the crafting I missed for 35 days (lol).
So I made this card today. Over on the Our Daily Bread Designs blog there is a challenge to make a black and pink card /and or gray and vanilla. I chose the black and pink.
My stamped image is from the ODBD set "birds and butterflies". Love this set because it coordinates with the Spellbinders labes 18 die.
The sentiment is from the ODBD set "Mothers Day". I just stamped the word blessings from a longer sentiment. Used my stamp-a-ma-jig positioner for replacement.
My designer paper is from Bo-Bunny and the dotted panel from Lasting Impressions. I found this black flourish in my stash and thought I would use it instead of ribbon. Punched some buutterflies with a MS punch to complete my card.
The layout is an old Sweet Stop Sketch #57. That's it for me today. So until next time......God bless.
Some other challenges:
1. The Southern Girls have a "things with wings" challenge.
2. Oldie but Goodie blog has an "anything goes" challenge. Everything on my card is over a year old.
This is sooo pretty and elegant, Mary....love the black and white with the touch of pink!!! The little butterflies are the perfect finishing touch!!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful card in black and white! Love how the layers really accent the varying shades. I struggle to use high contrast and this is a very inspiring design. TFS
