This week's colour challenge at Less is More is Black, Metallic, +1. My first card uses a textured gold cardstock with a couple of favourite Memory Box dies on it to make a wintry scene. There is no sentiment (confession: I used this as a late Christmas card and added a sentiment after the photo!). I really, really like this one.
Second card uses a Paper Smooches balloon die, with the black as the main colour. I came across the scrap of metallic holographic card behind the black while I was emptying cupboards - it's amazing what you buy when you are starting out in a craft! I punched holes and threaded a fine crochet cotton through to make the strings. In real life, the thread and the cardstock are a much better match... Sentiment is Hero Arts.
Looking forward to seeing all your creations, provided BT does what it has promised about the Broadband connection...!
Fantastic cards Anne but I especially love the first one... Those birds look terrific and that red just pops! Hope everything goes well this week. I've got everything crossed for you. Hugs xx

ReplyDeleteYummmm, Anne, I really love both of these! That wintry scene could be used for any occasion and I think it's a hoot that you found the holographic paper at JUST the right moment for this challenge!! I wish you all the best with your move, with the intertube connection, and with settling into your new craft space! Happy Happy New Year Hugs!! Darnell
