BLACK AND GREEN

Friday, I am so glad that it is Friday. I have a busy weekend planned but it will encompass all the things that I love. Scrapbooking, card making and shopping. How can you go wrong with that combination.

With today being Friday, you know it is time for another challenge at Tellen's Place Designs, The challenge this week is to use a BLACK background. How easy is that. The DIVAs have been very busy and you can see all of their wonderful creations over at Tellen's or visit each Diva at her blog. You can reach those blogs from my side bar. I am sure that they will be glad to hear from you. I work with a very talented group of ladies. So, just tell them that I sent you. You will be glad that you stopped by.

Now, on to my card. First, I will show it to you. Then I will tell you a little about it. I have to keep this post short. I still have to get ready for work.


This week I stuck with two colors and since we needed a black background, I knew it had to be embossed so I used the cuttlebug argyle embossing folder. The sketch  is from Fancy and Fussy Challenges 

The image is one of the new Divas from Tellen's Place, I really like this one. I showed this card to a friend at work who is a member of a sorority and she placed an order for a set of note cards featuring My Diva. So that is a good deal.  My image was colored with copics: E00, E11, E13, G20, G21, G24 my new spica glitter pens. I bought the set with the richer colors and wish I had gotten it soon. I could not believe that Hobby Lobby had them in stock. I colored the glasses, belt, shoes, leaves and the edges of the card with the melon glitter pen. The bling comes from my stash. The card stock is bazzill. I used my Spellbinders Nestibilities to cut the oval/scalloped shape and the sentiment card.The flowers are from recollections at Michaels.They come 3 different shades of the same color. I did not have any green flowers so these were so perfect.   They also have chocolate, red, yellow. They are really great and at such a reasonable price. They were 40% off when I got these. Well, I guess that is all for my card. But, yes there are a few challenges to be entered.
