black and white with a pop of color
I loved how the last blog post’s card turned out and I had extra strips from the Wet Stamping Technique so I decided to show how black and white and a pop of color can be dramatic!
I LOVE a pop of color on a card and how better to show it than with a rainbow colored scrap!
I used a 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White layer and stamped in Memento Black ink the butterfly image from the retiring stamp set Positive Thoughts.
For my first card sample I used a piece of the strip that was cut off from the original card – the butterfly was in PAcific point so I mounted the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Black and White layer to a Pacific Point card base. Then I matted the Pacific Point butterfly image onto Basic Black cardstock and popped it up on the black and white butterfly layer. I watercolored a strip of left over Fluid 100 paper with Pacific Point and stamped a sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set and popped that up as well!
On the second sample, I popped up the entire black and white layer onto Stampin’ Dimensionals and adhered a wet stamp technique strip to the top of that layer. I matted a black and white sentiment onto a Real Red cardstock background and tucked it behind the colorful butterflies strip. I added Real Red sheer ribbon and just LOVE the pops of color.
Sometimes a card can be so easy yet so visually striking. That is what I love about the Pops of Color cards!
Try it today and create your own black and white card with a pop of color – create it one stamp at a time!
