PINK & BLACK HARMONY SC146

I had fun making cards today for a few swaps I am in. The card I am showing was made using the SC146 sketch challenge as a layout. I like the LO, because it is quite basic and simple. I am using it for a Black and Pink Swap I am doing on SCS so color choice wasn't an issue. It was hard to decide what image to use.

I settled on Happy Harmony because I was looking for a flower and I loved the "Give Thanks" sentiment and thought it would be appropriate for the coming Thanksgiving Holiday. Would you mind getting a Pink and Black Card for Thanksgiving?

The pink and black cardstock is from a baby girl package and an all black package of cardstock at Michaels. I used a white base for the card and image. I embossed using the "Textile" and "Stylized Flowers" in my Cuttlebug. I sponged Moonlight white brilliance on the Black base because I wanted the black mat on the focal image to stand out. I punched the slit tool punch on the matting at about 1/8" in and 1/4" up from the bottom, then adhered the stamped image under the tab created. I stamped the "flower" stamp on the Pretty In Pink Ink pad and then drew with Mellow Moss on the stems with my SU Markers. I then stamped the image on the cardstock. I stamped the "Give Thanks" stamp over the top using versamagic Midnight Black. I really like the softness of this black when I stamp over lighter colors. I used black picture hangers and brads I bought in a set of twelve each from starlite studio some time ago. I' cant remember the manufacturer. The center of the flowers was punched out using my 1/16" circle punch, and I used 2 matte black brads by Creative Imaginations. Lastly I tied black and pink gingham ribbon on the hanger. I like how it turned out.

I will post another card on Monday. Have a great weekend.

Until Later ...Happy Stamping!
