This week’s Color Throw Down Challenge is my favorite color combination: red, black, and white. I have a quick anniversary card to share, and may be back before the challenge ends with another card. One of my favorite paper packs from Papertrey Ink was Black and White All Over. It’s no longer available, and when they had their big paper sale back in February it was sold out before I got my hands on some more of it.
This giant XO was one of the papers, and I was never quite sure what to do with it. . . until now. I cut it down, used a corner punch on the top corners, and adhered it to a Pure Poppy card, cut a banner for the sentiment which I adhered with foam tape, and added a puffy heart sticker from Bella Blvd. The sticker was a dark pink so I colored over it with a red Copic marker. I made two of these since there are two sets of friends are celebrating their anniversaries. Now I wish I had a couple more pieces of this paper. I’m quite happy with the card, and it went together very quickly.
Super! It’s so unusual, striking and really effective. Hope your friends love it!
PS. Possibly would also have been a good basis for a Valentine’s card?
Very clever, and beautifully executed as always … The little red heart is placed so perfectly.
If I said wow that was easily put together, I certainly don’t want to take away from your artistic efforts. Makes me re-think so paper I have in the “collection” that could be put to better use as a card, just takes some trimming … umm I like your ideas!
What a bold CAS card!! Wonderful! So happy you joined us at CTD!
Well, how perfect is that! Wonderful CAS design! Thanks for playing along with us at the Color Throwdown!
Oh, that paper worked perfect for this card!!
