When I was a little girl, my gran used to say, of anyone who disagreed with her, "They'd argue black's white" so this card is dedicated to the memory of her, because I've made a CAS card with black used for the "white" space. It's not exactly as I'd planned it though - I'd really wanted the sentiment to be pink, but neither my pink inkpad not pink embossing powder was man enough for the job, they both had a degree of transparency which made the sentiment look grey rather than pink, so I ended up making it white instead. So I used white opaque gems for the flower centres to link in with the white stamping.
The embossing folder was, I think, a magazine freebie and the flowers and leaves are die cut from snippets.

Love it!! That black really rocks and caught my eye immediately, great work.
ReplyDeleteThose sweet flowers really pop against the black and work perfectly with the embossing folder too! Black definitely IS white in this case :)
