The current challenge at Seize the Birthday is “Anything Goes.” Black and red is one of my favorite color combinations. As part of the #100DayProject, I pulled out a lot of stamps I hadn’t used in awhile, and this poppy stamp from Hero Arts was one of them.
After stamping the image in black, I used my new Polychromos pencils to color the poppies and stems. I cut a piece of New Leaf cardstock to frame the image and adhered it to a square Lasting Impressions card (another item that’s been in my stash for years.)
I die cut a Spellbinders banner and stamped the sentiment from “Ways to Say: Birthday” by Papertrey Ink. I added three tiny black pearls to the side of the banner. The Lasting Impressions cards came with polk-dot red envelopes which was just perfect for sending off to a friend.
Very dramatic and a stunner, Karen! Amazing your even coverage of the black inked background too. It reminds me of Marimekko (sp) designs.
Quite, Quite lovely! Per usual! It occurred to me as I read this entry how very much card-making and quilting have in common…not that I am surprised for many members of my quilting group also make cards…guess I am just slow on making connections!
Always looking forward to your next post. Cool enough, I hope, for you!
Cheers~
A stunning card, the green really sets off the black & red.
Yes, it’s very striking.
Wow, the black & red is so very striking!!! Love it!
Fabulous card! Love the combination of red, black and green – very striking and neat. Thank you so much for joining us at Seize the Birthday challenge! Hope to see you again!
