I went in search of something with black, and found my pal's Echo Park For The Record 2 6x6 pack. Drawing on things I learned from the Online Card Class Pattern Play about mixing patterned papers, I went with a small pattern for the yellow and a large pattern for the black.
I left the strip of black long until I stuck the papers onto a black layer, then I trimmed the strip to end at the edge of the black. The whole thing was mounted on a white card base, and it was finished. So easy, and no stamping. I might feel a bit guilty about that.
Since this is another yellow & black card, I'm entering it into the CAS - Colours and Sketches challenge:
I have a few more cards to bombard you with (with which to bombard you), so I'll be back shortly. :)
Stuff I used: misc black card stock, and the following:
Both cards you've posted today are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHoly elegance batman! I adore this! The soft yellow/gold on top with the black damask. Eeek! I love it!!
ReplyDeleteLove this die, design, colors, heck the whole card!
ReplyDeleteThe two patterned papers coordinate really well together, and I like how the sentiment strip joins them. Thanks for playing along with us a second time this week at CAS Colours & Sketches!
ReplyDeleteGreat patterned paper mix and separation of elements. This is a very elegant card.
ReplyDeleteVery elegant card with those mix of papers! Thanks for joining us at CAS Colours & Sketches!
ReplyDeleteI've not heard of that class but I know someone who could seriously benefit from it (and I don't mean me). Love this card! The paper does all the work and it works well. Great colors too. I really like these full phrase word edgers. I have the Always and Absolutely ones from Simon. Not nearly as fun.
