It's Friday and that means another great challenge on the TGIF Challenges Blog!
Happy New Year! TGIF Challenges is starting off the New Year with a classic Black and White Colour Challenge and I decided it was time to pull out some more of my new goodies. The upcoming Mini Catalogue goes live on January 5th and so does Stampin' Up's biggest promotion of the year; Sale-A-Bration! For my card I used the Floating and Fluttering Stamp and Die Bundle and a SAB sentiment set called Heal Your Heart.
A black and white colour combination can have such a striking impact and work with any type of images and sentiments. To really give my card a wow factor I decided to play with textures by using both dry and heat embossing. I used my favourite go to Subtle Embossing Folder on the white layer and also a new favourite Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder on the black. I then flicked on some Shimmer White Paint using a Water Brush.
Next I stamped and die cut the gorgeous butterflies image. The cool thing about this is it is all one stamp and one die, so you can stamp and die cut in one easy step and choose to keep the images together like I did, or snip them apart. I also die cut a white single butterfly that is also embossed by the die. The beautiful Black Glitter Organdy Ribbon really sparkles and adds an elegant touch. I chose this sentiment as I really felt that is fitting for the start of a new year, especially after 2020. If I learned anything this past year, it is that it is so important to acknowledge and appreciate that we are not alone and that we can get through anything together.
Wishing you all a very Happy New Year! I hope you can join us this week and make sure to check out the TGIF challenge blog for some more awesome inspiration!
Lovely card. The butterflies are so pretty and that ribbon really sets everything off.
