Inkspirational's current challenge is looking for black and gold cards. It's a favorite combo for me, and I needed two guy birthday cards. A perfect match. I created the cards a couple of nights ago, but never got around to photographing the cards until late this afternoon. So now I am slipping these into the gallery at the very last minute.
Both cards used patterned papers from my stash. Lots of these papers have been separated from the original 6X6 paper pad so I'm not sure who the manufacturers were.
I actually had only a partial piece of this paper. I've had it for a long time, and made several cards from it. I added to the side of a black card base, and cut a narrow strip of gold mirror cardstock as a border.
The sentiment was one I had previously foiled with Pinkfresh Studio's Perfect Sentiments. I added it with a bit of dimensional tape and a few gold pearls to finish it off.
Although I can't remember who made this paper, I do remember that the pad was filled with beautiful papers that I loved--and used quite often. This card came together very quickly. I stamped the sentiment from Ellen Hutson's That Thing You Did set on one of the stripes and adhered the paper to the card base. I added a few gold pearls to this card as well.
I'm off to get these into the gallery at Inkspirational. We actually had a few hours of sunshine this afternoon. It was a welcome sight even though it didn't last too long.
