morning ya'll! january blog hop time!
i got up super early this morning because i was suppose to babysit, but she cancelled because it's icy out...so i've been busy on pinterest this morning while weston played with his abc barn on the table right next to me...i'm teaching him farm animal noises. he's got the "mooooo" down pretty good :) geeze, there is so much inspiration on the internet, it's kind of crazy. it's so true... "i was gonna make this, but i spent the last 3 hours pinning" LOL :) yep, so true!
anyhow...onto the black background challenge. i used funky florals for the first time for this card. it's a very fun set! i die cut the notched flowers from my black cardstock, then backed it with a subtle pink pattern paper. i stamped my flowers with pure poppy and hibiscus burst, with black centers. the sentiment got heat embossed since i still had all my supplies out from my make.it.monday no.101 card i made earlier on. i wish the pink airmail washi stood out a little more, as in a brighter pink, but i still like the added touch is gives. ugh, i seriously need to google how to change my camera resolution. my pics are looking majorly grainy.
thanks for taking a peek! we're off to make some frosted sugar cookies this morning! yu-um!
xxo andrea.
Very cute! Great job!
ReplyDeleteLow coral colored notched flowers.
ReplyDeleteI love the strip of pattern at the top. Very eye catching.
ReplyDeletePerfection in the layout dept. love the colors, too!
ReplyDeleteI love how you cut the negative dies from the black background-- great idea! I love your pretty card!
ReplyDeleteWonderful card! I love the way you used the washi tape!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, love the Funky Flowers and the colours.
ReplyDeleteLove it - great use of the dies.
ReplyDeleteLove it! your negative die, and how you cut the airmail washi on the stripe ... great card, Andrea!
ReplyDeleteFAB flowers against the black and the washi tape is a FAB detail!
ReplyDeleteThis is super cool! great design!
ReplyDeleteLove how you cut your flowers out and then stamped. The washi tape is a fun addition. PS You might want to turn off verification and just switch to comment moderation.
ReplyDeleteThis is so lovely! I love the way you cut the flowers out and backed them with the paper. And the washi tape is the perfect finishing touch! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the way you created this with the negative . Very pretty. Perfect way to use the tape as well.
ReplyDeleteLooks cool punched out of the black!
ReplyDeleteThe washi tape is just perfect - any bolder, and it would have stolen your flowers' thunder. Pink and black and/or gray are fabulous together. (Can you tell I grew up in the fifties?)
ReplyDeleteAlso, not sure your camera is the problem. I shot my pics in filtered sunlight, and had a tough time trying to get a shot without a 'grainy black'. Not sure how some of the folks managed that so well.
Thanks for the comment on my blog, and hope you have fun hopping today.
Andrea, now you're making me want those dies. I love how you created that fun use of the flowers! :)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty Andrea
ReplyDeleteI love the way the flowers overlap.. And the little bit of washi is perfect!
The negative die cutting looks AWESOME! And I am a HUGE fan of those colors!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you've layered the floral images in the negative die cuts. Fun (and funky) card!!
ReplyDeleteLove the nestled flowers and black centers!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a fun set with such a perfect sentiment and you've showcased them brilliantly on the black background, Andrea! Now about those frosted sugar cookies ... oink, oink!!
