I'm one of those people who love to do Black, White & a splash of color which is the challenge at PDCC this week. I also wanted to use the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch! & play along with the Penny Black Blog For Family challenge. 3 in 1 is pretty unusual for me, but this time it worked! My stamps by Penny Black are chearful & Always My Sister (I only stamped the one word.) The flower blossom was black embossed, fussy cut & mounted offset to the second image with foam tape. My magenta splash is done with 2 sizes of gem stickers. The blossoms are attached to 2 Spellbinder oval die cuts with the word sister stamped on vellum. The white embossed piece is done with a Cuttlebug folder. My sister is one of my biggest fans & uses my cards as decoration in her house. I've never sent her one in these colors & I think she'll like it. Hope you're all having a great week. Your support means a lot to me--thank you.Update: Just realized this qualifies for Penny Black Saturday Challenge, so will enter that at the last minute.
I love it, Greta! Such a pretty card and you've truly only used a "slash" of that beautiful color!

ReplyDeleteSaw this on Facebook and dropped by to tell you how much I loved it. I especially loved the embossed panel and the little gems on the flower. It would be cool to see this turned into a purse card. Anyway, Happy Mother's Day! (Doggies count as children. :D)
