Well I made it! Seriously thought I was going to have to miss out on this week's Handmade Monday, but decided too good to miss. I am going to be a bit cheeky and post the card I put on my World Card-Making post this evening - why? Because I rather like it - something smart about black cards and they don't all have to be associated with sorrow do they?
The size is folded A4 and the first layer is from scrap book card stock, it is black with white flowers and sparkles on some of the petals. I added some jewels to some of the flower centres to sparkle-it-up a bit more. I then added some shiny purple butterflies (used Martha Stewart all over punch for these). Then I added a greeting - I should have added one more topping, it was going to be a cat, but didn't quite make it on to the card. Still, I hope you like it
Have a good week - I will be back on Wednesday with my usual post of the what, where and how of Christmas Pie Crafts.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I think dark colors, black included are always so elegant, and not sad at all. As for comments, I agree, they make my day! :)
ReplyDeleteBlack cards rule (I would say that being a groupie to black). But I love the flower and butterfly layout. Very well done. And not cheeky at all!
