I made this card for today's Limited Supply challenge to use green in our card and for Sharon JohnsonÂ’s, notimetostamp, challenge, ssnotime75. When I saw SharonÂ’s challenge today, I thought this new paper I picked up at MichaelÂ’s a few days ago would be perfect. The challenge is to use black ink only. What!!!! No water colors, no brush, can I do this? Well I decided to give it a try and while this is so not my style, IÂ’m happy with the card. I would have preferred to use a red silk flower, but this is all I had in my stash. You canÂ’t tell from the picture, but the flowers on the background paper are black felt. All that gorgeous texture is lost in the photograph. I used May Arts black shear ribbon. That really is a pretty bow, but because of the sheerness, itÂ’s not showing up well in the picture. Lesson learned, next time IÂ’ll use grosgrain or twill.
