The Unique Scrapper: Black

A dear friend of mine is in the hospital under less than ideal conditions.

I knew I wanted to make a card, but needed some inspiration.

The Challenge was to create a black and white card, with just a splash of color.

I ended up choosing Close to my Heart’s Thistle as my splash of color.

The sentiment “Get Well Soon” is from the January 2019 Stamp of the Month stamp set

The set is only $5 with any $50 purchase from my online store.

I used the little heart symbol to create a stamped background.

I distressed the inside of the card to give the stark white some dimension.

I distressed the inside and the edges of the layers with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.

I also created a simple pattern on the left side of the card, by scoring three straight lines.

Thank you for stopping by!

Today's card was inspired by the Black, Orange and Purple Challenge over at Pile It On! Challenge Blog!

I kept the layout of the card simple, yet cute and fun.

While these three colors can certainly be used for Halloween, I went with a fall sentiment instead, for a different spin.

I used the Hello Pumpkin Paper Packet, for the Pumpkin Cut apart.

I layered it on a piece of Thistle Cardstock, then layered that on Black Cardstock, then layered that on a piece of Tangerine Cardstock.

There is a piece of Thistle Cardstock behind that.

I mounted them all on a Black Card base.

The inside of the card is a layer of Tangerine Cardstock with a half circle cut from an older Fundamentals Paper Packet.

I finished the card off with three small Silver Glitter Gems as embellishments.

I entered my card into the following challenges:
