What do you do with black flowers?

January 2, 2008

sc157-ffg-and-elements.jpgThis weeks sketch at SCS answered the question – just what am I going to do with these black prima flowers I received in a kit ages ago?  They’ve been sitting in my stash of things for well over a year and every time I saw them I thought – why don’t I just give them away – I can’t do anything with black flowers!  Well, I kept them and one was the perfect accessory for this card.

I stamped and emossed the flower in black on glossy and sponged ballet blue over it, then attached it to another piece of white then black.

I stamped a flourished elements using Palette Noir on another piece of ballet blue and mounted that on black.  Both this and the main image were mounted on ballet blue, then on a white card.

    Hi Nancy… Thanks for the lovely comments and yes the beady things are called Dew Drops from “Robin’s Nest”.. They come in all different colors and are a fun embellishment on cards.
