BLACK ON BLACK? PLUS FRIDAY FREEBIE
Good morning crafty friends
I found my larger poinsettia dies! Now if only I could find my heat tool I'd be able to heat emboss
Below is what I mean about black on black
I die cut the sentiment, in gold, 5 times and glued them together then added one on black die cut over the gold to leave a shadow
I was so pleased to locate my larger dies but don't intend making many more Christmas cards with poinsettias as it's too time consuming. This flower is so large the card will have to be handed to the recipient. There's 15 layers of petals, but....
I do love the finished look. I always think black and gold looks decadent
I used an ivory lightweight card for the inside and would have heat embossed the sentiment and image in gold had the heat tool not, temporarily, disappeared. That said I think the black blends with the card
For this week's FF I have a pot of gold vintage mica flakes. I will decant these into a plastic bag for posting

Wow, that poinsettia looks so delicate and lovely. It just pops against the black and I can see why you wouldn't want to make a lot of them but oh my, how beautiful.

Hi June,
ReplyDeletewhat a very luxurious looking card that gorgeous pointsettia is so beautifully created and the gold glimmer is stunning.
Love the black background as well.
Great inside of the card also.
Hope you find your heat tool soon pity as I have 2 here and I wish we lived closer to each other as I could lend you it.
I ended up with 2 as my dear hubby wanted my wand one to shrink sleeving he used for his radio hams stuff so I gave him mine and I bought one that looks like a hairdryer type so now I have 2.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
