First up is a card that uses the chalkboard technique. This was my first time to try this and it certainly won't be my last. I had FUN! This is great for using stamps from lots of different sets.
This second card uses black as one of the main elements. The tiny envelope is bursting with hearts.
Do you like the way I tied my heart?
My last card again used the blackboard technique. Have you picked up Authentique's Lovely Collection paper pad yet? Great papers.
The X & O's are from the Papertrey Ink border die. I also used the In the Meadow die for the heart paper behind the sentiment layer.
This last picture shows ALL the fun I will be having as I clean my craft room. If you look closely at the picture you might spy my new die storage. If you are interested I will be posting more about it on Monday, January 28th. So stop back by.
Happy Hopping! ~Rhonda

Three amazing cards. I love them all. Such fun you had, and I like how you incorporated pops of color with your black.
ReplyDeleteReally fabulous. Each card is a gem. If you had posted these in three separate posts, you would have had three chances of winning, and these all deserve a chance at winning.
ReplyDeleteYour white, orderly stamping on the black is graphically masterful. The composition is really striking and compelling in its' orderly way. I will need to save pics of these to inspire me to create a new compositions.
Thank you for sharing these beauties and enjoy the blogosphere today.

ReplyDeleteLove all three cards!! Just fabulous...now you have me curious about the die storage.
ReplyDeleteRhonda, you have been doing some serious crafting, girl! You have nailed the chalkboard technique. Filing away your heart tying to case.
ReplyDeleteRhonda, your cards were fabulous! Loved each one in a different way. And yes, I loved the way you secured the little heart embellish. But, if a prize was given to the messiest workspace, I'd wrestle it away from you! Going back into the cave to start cleanup. Then to start the fun all over again! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, I am very impressed by all your productions, Rhonda, each one more fabulous than the one before!! It's obvious you had a ball with this!
ReplyDeleteWow, great job with the challenge! All three cards are wonderful. I love your subway art--the pop of red on the first card looks fantastic.
