LSC204...Paint it Black (1/23/09)
 

LSC204 Paint it Black

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 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 love the idea of the black...Here is my card. TFL

And thanks for the awesome challenge.

I got this awesome paper a long time ago, black on one side white on the other. Makes it really easy to use black as the main card base.

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.

Thanks Dawn, for this! I NEEEEEEED to work with black more, it is so intimidating to me for some reason! I will get to this ASAP!

thanks Dawn! http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...4410?nocache=1

thanks Dawn! sounds fun!! :cry: no time today

Pacific Point...How Do You Like Me Now?

Thanks Dawn! Ooooo.. great challenge! I LOVE using black on cards! I think nearly all of them have black on them somewhere.... woohoo... off to play!

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.

I love using black! What a great challenge, Dawn!
