Black and White Abbey card
Happy Saturday all! I'm so glad it is finally the weekend!!! I had to unwind last night so I decided to craftt!!! :) I made one card and started another. I feel like I'm having withdrawals because I've been so busy with work and family events that I have not had much time for this. So I wanted to share a card I made in response to a challenge that Jo Paperdrama and Rina Scraptress from You Tube had. This was just a fun challenge to create a card using black and white. I had so much fun creating this card because I've been wanting to try this out with copic coloring! The stamped image I used is "Abbey" from the Greeting Farm Stamp. I've had her for a while but have never colored her up. I thought she would be fun for this project! The colors I used were the cool Blacks which I use all the time for coloring black hair-C1, C3, C5, C7 and C9. The paper collection I used is from My Mind's Eye "Meadowlark" and it is a fun paper pad with all black and white beautiful papers. The doily was in my stash and I sprayed it with Tattered Angels "Route 66". This was a fun color and had lots of gray and silver shimmer. I edged the doily and paper with Tim Holtz distress ink in "Black Soot". The black roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts and the silver flower I made using petals I picked up in the $1 bin at Michael's. I layered two on top of each other and then added a bigger recollections black rhinestone bling in the center. The cute little nylon butterfly and crochet trim is from Karla S001's store on Etsy. I had so much fun making this card in the black and white and can't wait to make more! Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend! :)
