Say it with…Black
*See post below for Online Card Class Winners*
Happy Friday everyone,
Hope that you had a blessed and relaxing Easter break. This week at AnnaBelle Stamps we have a black challenge for you.
(Tag ac069)
For some inspiration this week I needed a little help so I went blog surfing to some of my favourite card makers to see if I could get some ideas (I think my mojo has gone on holidays!) I ended up at Laurie Willison’s blog and came across this lovely creation. I took this as my starting point. Thanks Laurie for the inspiration!
I just had to have a little bit of colour in it – hence the tab of red ribbon. I white heat embossed Fanciful Flowers onto black card stock. The gingham background was created using Backgrounds by Design #7.
Supplies
Ink: VersaFine Onyx Black, Versamark Watermark ink
Card: Regal Craft Cards – white square textured pre-scored card, AnnaBelle Stamps pre-cut cards (for gingham panel), Plain black card stock
Other Supplies: Spellbinders Labels 2, Cuttlebug, 3D foam adhesive, red saddle stitch ribbon, Zing white embossing powder, heat gun, anti static pillow, black felt pen, Fiskars stamp press
Before I go, Andrea has a little sale happening, but only for today – so go and grab yourself a bargain!

It sure doesn’t look like your mojo is gone, Marion. The white on black is sooooo striking! That gingham is perfect! I know I’ve told you this before, but I love the texture of the white cardstock you use (I guess I love everything about the card–ha ha).
