BEST WISHES.

Hello and good morning everyone.
The card I have to share with you this morning is for the challenge over at
4 Crafty Chicks.  Challenge #217. Colour Challenge. CORAL, WHITE & BLACK.

This is my entry.



The background is a CORAL TEXTURED CARD and the panel is made with a PATTERNED PAPER from my stash and mounted on BLACK CARD.
All edges have a SILVER CHAINLINK BORDER to highlight the shapes.
I have then used a Marianne Creatable DOILY DIE with WHITE CARD and embossed it with the COTTAGE FLORAL embossing folder. In the centre of that, I have added my sentiment disc which says "BEST WISHES".
In the bottom corner  I have added a co-ordinating BLACK AND WHITE FLOWER made by mixing the SUN & DAISY punches with a BLACK GEM in the centre.
For the foliage I have used a die from the Spellbinders JEWELLED FANTASIES using BLACK PEARLISED CARD
To complete the look, I have added a WHITE SATIN BOW, BLACK & WHITE GLITTER BUTTERFLIES and WHITE PEARLS.

Thank you very much for stopping by. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.
Happy crafting.
Love Sandra xx

HAPPY BIRTHDAY.


Hello again to you all.

Papertake Weekly.  BLACK & WHITE + ONE OTHER COLOUR. (Silver)



I love this colour combination. The background is plain black card, and then I cut two random sized pieces and embossed them with the SWISS DOTS FOLDER & GARDEN SWIRL FOLDER.
These were then mounted onto WHITE HOLOGRAPHIC CARD  and edged with a
SILVER DECORATIVE BORDER to highlight and add definition too.
I then made a smaller panel which was mounted onto SILVER MIRROR CARD and the whole piece was embossed with the SWISS DOTS FOLDER. Onto that panel I added a SILVER LUREX BOW.
In the top right corner I have added a D-Lites SPRIGS and at the bottom I have used
Spellbinders JEWELLED FANTASIES DIE to creat the foliage for the the BLACK & WHITE paper rose.
