Cindy has a fantastic sketch for everyone this week at Freshly Made Sketches! I decided to make a clean-and-simple card for mine, but added a bit of a twist by using black instead of the more traditional white. I wanted to play along with Dynamic Duos, so the color choice came straight from there. There's not much too it, but I kinda like it. :)
Stamps: Sweet Essentials
Ink: Basic Black
Paper: Basic Black, Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White, Gingham Garden DSP
Accessories: Basic Rhinestones
Tools: Big Shot, Stripes embossing folder, butterfly punches, scallop border punch
Laila had her birthday pictures yesterday and I'm curious to see how they will turn out. She was making some weird faces and kept crawling away every time we tried to get her to pose. I snapped this one with my phone as she was digging into her smash cake. It's the first time she's really had any sugar, so she was sucking the icing off her fingers. Thankfully she didn't get too much!
Snap on using DDs colour combo on your card too Rita! This card is absolutely stunning with all that black - Such a classy card combined with Pear Pizzazz and bling! :)
