I'm back with another card and today I'm exploring the style of using black mats under your layers. There are a number of people who do this style very well - Gina K and Kristie Marcotte come to mind right away. I always love the pop that the contrasting layers give the finished card.
I used a sweet set called Woodland Cuties by Your Next Stamp for the main image and added a hand drawn butterfly and a sweet little mushroom from another YNS set called Plant Some Kindness. Here's my card...
My take on this style: I really like parts of the card, but I think the final product is too bold for me. Maybe it is the papers that I chose or the image, but I think I'm more comfortable with layering with other colors or Kraft card stock, rather than black. What do you think??
Cute! I like how the black mats make the colors pop. Cute image, too. :)
ReplyDeleteI like using black as it makes your focal point really stand out.
