Now, coming to the so called black, which was/is and will never be a choice of mine, atleast to the darkest shade that it provides. I was said by someone that black will never be a choice in a card which would not be a good sign to gift to a near one, especially to a Valentine. It does not mean that we cannot do anything with black, but if black, used in a proper proportion would really be good in a card. THis would definitely be a choice to those who love black and use every pinch of it in their lifestyle. So, here goes my two cards, one, with a proper proportion of black and one with an improper proportion og black in it.
The first card shown below has an improper proportion of black. Black goes well with off-white and pink, but it gives a vibrant combination (which is not so good at times), with pure white. I initially thought of using pink with white, but i just wanted to show how black and white alone would not make a great combination if used in a very simple way. On the other way round, black designs on a white card would really do awesome combination. I prefer distressing the edges of the card, which is recently my choice. I have not done that in this card. Also, butterflies in mixed colours, would have added more joy to the card. and the hearts enclosed in pink or red would have provided more meaningful message which would have been a visual treat otherwise.
The second card is below, where I have used Kaisercraft damask design to stamp repeatedly creating a background. I allowed it to dry for about thirty minutes, and then distressed a little using spun sugar distress ink pad.
The lamppost is from Marianne designs, and the border die is from Memory box.
