Your Creative Connection #YCC114: Strong & Beautiful
August 26, 2020
Welcome to another Your Creative Connection tour, #YCC114. Our theme today is: Shades of Black & White
For today's challenge, I reached for the NEW Magic in This Night Designer Series Paper. The pattern paper was designed for Halloween, but there are several patterns that could be used all-year long! Take a look...
How'd She DO That? Strong & Beautiful card
- Stamps: Strong & Beautiful
- Paper:
- Basic Gray (4-1/4" x 11" card base)
- Blackberry Bliss (4" x 5-1/4" and scrap for banner shape die from Tasteful Labels)
- Smoky Slate (scrap for Stitched So Sweetly Die for the sentiment)
- Magic in this Night Designer Series Paper (two of 2" x 3")
- Ink: Blackberry Bliss, Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush
- Other: Tasteful Labels Dies, Stitched So Sweetly Dies, Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Stampin' Seal, Mini Stampin' Dimensionals
If you have seen this paper, you might be wondering where the coloring on the flowers came from. I took some liberties with the challenge of black and white, and added Blackberry Bliss (ha...it has black in it's name, right?!) See my tips for more information.
- For coloring the Magic in This Night Designer Series Paper , I used a Blackberry Bliss ink pad and the Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush.
- While the pad is closed - squeeze the lid into the pad and then open to find a "pool" of ink in the lid.
- Pick up some ink with the Glitter Brush to add color and glitter to the flowers at the same time.
- This card looks amazing in real life!
- The Blackberry Bliss banner ends come from a single banner die from the Tasteful Labels Dies - just cut in half.
I have to admit, without this challenge I would have never made a card like this. And I'm SO happy with the results. Give this challenge a try for yourself.
If you like Black & White cards, then you'll definitely want to add the Magic in This Night Designer Series Paper to your collection
