When I was younger I used to love the riddle "What is black and white and red all over?" the answer was "A newspaper" (read instead of red)! The colour challenge at Colour Q reminded me of this so I just had to add Red as my additional colour this week. I was also intrigued by the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches as well so used that as my basis for this card. I am also entering this card in the SUO Challenge "Feeling a bit Punchy" I have added butterflies from the Beautiful Wings die for this part.
I have been itching to use some of the flocked DSP in the Mocha Morning Specialty DSP, and this seemed just the right time to do so. I love the black, red and white together and knew I wanted to use the stamp from Just Believe as a silhouette image with butterflies to add a splash of colour. It was all a bit dark so I added some Real Red mats to the DSP and I am really happy with the outcome.
It is so nice to have time and energy to be creative and play along with some challenges again. I am hoping to get a few more done in the next day or so before I have to go back to work, so pop back and check them out.
Happy Stamping
