Basic Black


Basic Black - Here is my card for Creative Card Crew. Todays challenge is to use black cardstock on you project. I think it is an under used cardstock color for cards.

My DP is DCWV The All Dressed Up stack. I inked all of it with Broken China distress ink.


Here is my image. She is Uptown Angel by our sponsor for this challenge, Kenny K Downloads. Isn't she the greatest? She was homework for my Copics class. We are working on Hispanic skin and hair. I'm not completly happy with it, but I will keep trying.

I added Stickle to her earring, belt, trim on her shirt and shoes.
I cut my MA swirl with black cardstock, then added gemstone to the leaves. The corners recieved some sparkle with a Recollections gemstone sticker.

My butterfly was one that I bought at a booth at the scrapbooking convention in Dallas.

My sentiment is Studio G.
I had a lot of fun making this card and I hope that you will join in our fun challenge at Creative Card Crew.
