I have been known to create black cards in the past but they have usually been sympathy cards.
But for todays group I have chosen the black and used up all the spare die cuts that I had on my desk. Some of them are from projects done quite some time ago.
For some of them I have added in handmade foamiran flowers and for others I have used some stamped and some just die cut.
This is the one with the die cut flowers and they are in cream and gold.
I will link as many of the products that I have used at the bottom of the page and if you have them then maybe you would be inspired to get them out again.
Each one of the cards has a panel that has been embossed in a folder for added texture but it doesn't show up very well on the photos.
They are all different sizes and orientations too as I had all the card bases ready folded so it made sense to use up what I had done.
For this card I used Broken China to add the cloudy look to portions of the background, over the embossing, with a small brush so the colour wouldn't be too deep.
I do quite like them all but this one with the three flowers on it is my favourite.
They are created from Foamiran with extra inking on the petals and of course the added glitter.
Hope you like at least some of them
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx
Love all the cards. The black background makes the flowers etc really stand out-stunning.
