Happy Friday Stampers ~ this Black and White Checked Remarkable You uses a favorite paper of mine!
Today I will be doing a lot or organizing but will take some time to reward myself in my craft room. I have a lot to get done but I know I stay motivated when I have a little play time. I still need to make some cards for my blog and I also need to make my video for Sunday. Guess I have my craft plan for the day!
I loved, loved, loved the black and white checked paper from the Holiday catalog. I was so sad to see it go. That’s okay as we have this fabulous paper in the Occasions catalog. If you love black and white paper like I do, let me show you how to use that paper to create great cards! Check out the class here.
I am slowly working through my images I colored previously and today’s card uses another one. I had a little of the black and white paper from the Holiday catalog left. I decided I would use it with one of my colored images. I had colored the image with Calypso Coral watercolor pencil so I chose that color for my card base. I added a piece of the black and white checked paper. I cut out my image and attached dimensionals to the back. To add some interest, I took a 1″ strip of Calypso Coral and using my scoring board I scored it every 1/8″. I scored each line 3 or 4 times so they would really show up. I mounted the strip onto a piece of Whisper White that was 1 1/4″ wider with the embossed lines up. This strip was then mounted onto a piece of Basic Black that was 1 1/2″ wide. I attached these strips to the lower half of the card base. My flower was then added to the card base. Because I love my bling, I added some rhinestones scattered around the background and a strip along the lower left hand of the embossed piece.
