The beginning of a new year and the beginning of a new month means one thing at "Less is More" and that is a colour challenge and for this time we have chosen
BLACK and WHITE
with a touch or a splash, a hint or suggestion, a dab or a patch of
a colour of your choice!
The idea being that the black and white are predominant and the added colour is subtle.
How does that roll with you?
Here are our examples
For this one I cut the flower from the front of the card blank and then inserted the black and pink die-cuts into the gap, backing the inside with a second sheet of card.
The sentiment is from a Cuttlebug die and is surface mounted.
For really fiddly die-cuts like this one from Simon Says Stamp and Memory Box, I always add some double sided tape to the back of the card before cutting and so all I need to do to adhere it to any project once die-cut, is merely peel and stick.
The hint of colour on this one is incredibly subtle... so subtle in fact that you have to look hard to see it. It's simply the square red gem in the centre of the border embossing. I don't remember the make of the latter, it may be Sizzix, maybe someone can elucidate! The outer edges of the panel were scored on a scoring board.
The paper is Pink Petticoat harlequin and the sentiment a stamp from Magenta.
There are more samples for this week on my personal blog.

For my second card I layered 3 strips of washi tape onto the layer. A simple strip of black card was added and a die cut sentiment from Die-namics. I've then added my pop of colour using a stampin up sizzlit butterfly die
We do hope that you will join us for the first of our CAS challenges in 2013.
Here's to another year of sharing our creativity!

So, for my first card I have used one of my favourite layouts and simply added a layer embossed with a Sizzix embossing folder. I have added a couple of lavender gems as my hint of a colour and a sentiment from Pink Petticoat. I also stitched the edges of sentiment.
For my second card I layered 3 strips of washi tape onto the layer. A simple strip of black card was added and a die cut sentiment from Die-namics. I've then added my pop of colour using a stampin up sizzlit butterfly die
We do hope that you will join us for the first of our CAS challenges in 2013.
Here's to another year of sharing our creativity!

ReplyDeleteEverything good in the new year. I congratulate the beautiful cards to all participants have fun.
This challenge inspired me very much, and I think I was not the only one! There are so many different ways, and not a card looks like the other although there are very few ingredients! Thank you ladies, for this great challenge and your fabulous examples. I really loved it!
