This was the second card that I made for my swap partner in Australia. The theme was black & white with a hint of colour. I have used another of the digi images from Dover Publications 'Silhouette Designs' CD-Rom & book.(Only 149 more to go).
I printed the image onto thick card stock and adhered to red card stock leaving a small border of the red showing. This was then matted to the card front. The dog has a matching collar made from a snippet of red ribbon. The sentiment (which I wanted to keep simple)was printed onto the card stock first and then reput through printer to download the image above it.
The next swap is to make two cards in pink. Yay! .My fav. These are already on their way again to Australia and once received will show you the card designs that I made.
As I have used an incy wincy snippet up am posting to Pixies Crafty Workshop #42.

Black, white and red are such a stunning combination. A really elegant card. thank you for your visit and kind comments. In fact, that card of mine is very simple to do - it is just getting your head round reversing the image in the first place, and remembering not to breathe over the gold leaf or gilding flakes. Looking forward to seeing your next swap cards. xx Maggie #65

ReplyDeleteI'm convinced I left a comment here, Mrs. A, but given that I can't see it, perhaps I didn't! It's a super sweet CAS creation, perfect in black, white and the hint of red on the pup's collar drawing from the red of the framing! Lovely! Hugs, Lesley
