So......planning to make one card, I made four, each using black and white. My favourite uses a piece of recycled paper made into an accordion pleated flower. Once it was tied in the centre with a couple of pieces of coloured string, the rest was easy. I'm obsessed with packs of vinyl flourishes at the moment, but they'll be finished soon. There are silver and black pieces here, as well as the last of a piece of spotted ribbon and a scrap of old Stampin' Up DP.
Now on a roll, and with a pack of black cards in hand, the next card came together from scraps on the desk. Its busy, but I think it works.
In the hunt through the boxes of bits, I came across the last few tri-fold window cards which I find hard to use....but they are black, so that's at least one point in their favour. The third card came together by accident (yes, well maybe it looks like that too) and has a few more of those vinyl flourishes and dots.
The last card uses another of the tri-fold cards and some kaiser-craft cut-outs, along with a star I stamped rather imperfectly, but I think that's okay today when shabby is still chic! The white embossed paper in the window is almost the last of a piece of wrapping paper I have been hoarding and using sparingly for too long (thank you Beth).
I have far too many boxes of bits and pieces, and pieces of DP, and I love them all, so rather than buy more, my resolution for the year is to USE THEM. I know they'll work because when I look through them, I never say "Where did THAT come from?". Maybe this year my crafting hobby will cost less??
If you too have a favourite colour combination, make something wonderful,and show us at Opus Gluei this week. We'd love to see your work.
