Lately, I�ve been experimenting with using black card bases on my cards. The solid black background can really make your images, colors and papers POP! Let�s see what you can do.
Limit:
Card base must be black so that you have a very bold, black expanse.

The "plan" for this card came quick and easy. Thanks for a fun challenge! I will be doing this more often with the black cardstock background.
My card: LoveBirds by pegmac71 at Splitcoaststampers
Here is one from my gallery TLC 84 white lily by niki1 at Splitcoaststampers
The card base is black and the circle is two sided paper black and white .
By cutting and weaving you get a certain pattern. black label and ribbon...
Black enough ?
If I can find some time today I make another...
I use a lot of dark navy card bases because I like the look of a dark base - so it shouldn't be hard to move up one notch into black. I didn't realise the challenge was up already, I've been having a lazy lie-in!! Time to get up, LOL.
I don't use much black except as a small amount of accent, so using this much black was a challenge for me. But I like how it came out. Here is my card.
