Black cards often start right off as elegant. Incorporating delicate and strong, fine and bold aspects to black and gold for a fun and clean look.
This card incorporates is a great way to bring some sunshine with this Metallic Gold Encore Pad (#132141 Holiday Catalog pg. 28) inked Sunflower (#123608) background stamp. The fine lined image looks so rich and delicate on this card (like a strong but delicate gold chain you'd wear). Unlike heat embossing that can sometimes create too thick of lines for a fine line project (resulting in slightly blob look) this stamp pad leaves a clean, shine of real gold and stands up to dark colors!
Stamping this Hostess Exclusive Express Yourself (#130339) 'love you' with the Jet Black Stazon ink (#101406) for a an almond scented (yummy) ink pad that stamps images clean and sharp. Stamping on the Gold Foil Sheets requires an ink that isn't water based. It's non porous and would wipe right off. The Permanent Solvent Ink does a stunning job!
All tied up... wrap a project up with this tailored looking ribbon. The Basic Black 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon is sure to WOW with it's refined and tailored look. The stamped words offset the stamped flower for a balanced look to your card.
Continue the FUN... lining a dark card is ideal if you aren't using a gel pen - this white card stock inside allows me to add the Encore Metallic Gold inked Sunflower to the inside - what fun and oh so easy to do!
Again, this pad does such a lovely job, doesn't it? Such a stunning stamp and you are allowed to see all the fine lines that bring Sunshine in this Sunflower card!
Go ahead - grab some elegant and fun, trendy and cool metallic accents for your outfit... then incorporate them into your card making and paper crafting! Celebrate the start of Fall, Nature and Classic Metallic Accents with a simple card like this. Thanks for coming by, I post daily and hope to see you often, bring your friends and family along, too.
