The Little Black Card

​I couldn't resist responding to TGIF Challenge #225 to create a card all on black!  Lucky for me it also worked for The Flower Challenge #35.

​Yesterday while doing some warm up watercolor, I decided one of the three warm ups was a total failure.  However, not to be discouraged, I knew it would work as a background for diecuts, which is the inspiration for my card today!  After diecutting the flowers and leaves, I decided the intricate flowers were a little lost on the black.  I stamped the flowers with the solid image on white cardstock using silver ink and then just layered the delicate die over the solid flowers.  For the leaves, I diecut and then affixed to a white card base.  All the little pieces were glued back into the cutout areas.

​To give the black panel a little more interest, I dry embossed it.

​Here's a photo of the failed watercolor warmup that morphed into my diecut flowers!
