Hi crafty friends! It's time for another new color duo at the Color Hues Color Challenge #98! Teammate Karen Walker chose the challenge colours of RED & BLACK.
I used an old Papertrey Ink stamp set called Frilly Flowers. I'm sure there are a few people out there who will remember this set on sight. I simply stamped various blooms on my card front in red and black inks from Catherine Pooler--Rockin' Red, Pebble and Midnight. Warning: Catherine Pooler Midnight ink WILL stain your stamp black! It still work fine with all the colours but the stamp will stain.
The Birthday Wishes sentiment comes from Honey Bee Stamps Birthday Wishes. I stamped and white embossed two 'Birthday"'s in red and black. I decided to use the red one, but the black one behind it gives just the perfect shadow it needs to stand out on this card. Plus it gives a bit of dimension!
Your whimsical frilly flowers, with their swirls, twirls and polka dots, are so much fun, especially in red and black. A delightful birthday card in every way!

What a fun retro card, Tracey! This is cute!
ReplyDeleteOh, what bright lovely blooms! A wonderful color combo! I do love the Honey Bee stamp/die birthday wishes! Well done, Tracey! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThis card is perfection, Tracey! I've always been a huge fan of Papertrey Ink, but I don't remember these cute florals. Red, black, and white is always a favorite of mine. I love the the white on red for the die cut sentiment as well!
ReplyDeleteTracey, black and red is such a stunning color combination, and your card is so pretty. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI love the modern look of your card, Tracey.
ReplyDeleteI remember these beautiful flowers and they make the sweet birthday card! Just love it.
ReplyDeleteTracey, I made myself a darling mini-dress in a fabric almost identical to this in the 70's - such a super cool card!
