Creative Paper Crafting: Jax Starz Hop: Color Challenge

Welcome to December's installment of the Jacksonville STARZ Hop. You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from Amanda's Blog. Either way, welcome! You can follow the full blog hop lineup below to move along from blog to blog, so you can see all of the new projects.

This month's focus is a color challenge. The majority of the card had to be Black and White with a little splash of one other color. It could be any color we wanted. I went with a splash of Calypso Coral.

I chose to do a sympathy card because I needed one recently, and I didn't have any on hand.

I matted the whisper white onto Black Glimmer paper, but the picture doesn't show the glimmer very well due to poor lighting. (I really need to work on my photography skills). I used pearls for the center of the stamped flowers. I also colored a few of the little pearls with a black magic marker, and used them for the center of the calypso coral flowers. I think it made the calypso coral pop out more. I also stamped the inside of the card with one of the smaller flourishes and greeting.

I hope you all like my card. For a full list of supplies, scroll down to the bottom of the post. Thanks for hopping by. Please be sure to leave a comment before you head over to Lee's Blog. I can't wait to see what she has come up with. Black & White cards are her FAVORITE! ;)
