So excited for the new challenge at The Paper Players! Claire is hosting a color challenge this week. We want to see your creations with Silver, Black and White. Lately, I have been drawn to creating Christmas cards in black. Not my normal tone, but they are so elegant and the black really makes your colors pop.
My card was created with the new Elegant Snowflakes stamp set. I inked up almost every stamp in the set!
The hardest part of my card, was deciding which snowflakes would be white and which silver! I laid out my card and inked up my snowflakes and sentiment with Versamark and then heat embossed in white. I added in more snowflakes and embossed in silver. When I created this card in my mind, I imagined white paint splatters around my snowflakes. The reality is, I could not find my white paint anywhere! I still wanted the look, so I added bitty sequins in silver and white dots with Liquid Pearls. My panel was die cut and popped up with 3-D foam tape for more dimension. I so love the end result!

Allisa, these snowflakes are so beautiful! I love that you used the black background to showcase them! You certainly made my colors shine this week! Have a wonderful week!
I love how your mix of white and silver snowflakes on black turned out and the liquid pearls worked perfectly for a white splatter substitute! Absolutely gorgeous Allisa!
This is beautiful! I think the snowflakes look fabulous on the black background…very striking! I really enjoyed "crafting" with you this year, too! Be sure to come back and play with us often in 2021!

Beautiful, Allisa! The white and silver "pops" against the black background. I have loved stamping beside you as a guest designer this past year. Your cards are always fabulous. I will miss you…Happy holidays!
Your snowflakes look awesome on the black! Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Gorgeous! Looks like a dark winter night with the snowflakes coming down! I love it! 🙂
This is stunning Allisa! I don't usually go in for a black background either but you are absolutely right – it makes the white and silver pop! So dramatic and elegant too!

This is STUNNING, Allisa! The black background really makes the details pop and those itty bitty sequins are the perfect touch.
