I’ve liked some cards I’ve seen using black as the base, here’s the results.
Firstly I die cut the trees leaving the pieces intact, giving the solid pieces texture.
I added gold stars and die cut greeting .
Second was an experiment with some old luminart shimmerypaints,
on a quest to use some old products gathering dust.
I also used some old vibrant embossing powders.
This turned out better in the picture than in reality 😂
It warped a bit as I added too much water to try and even out the brushwork,
which wasn’t very successful, but on I ploughed.
This card below inspired the ones today and yesterday, that used the In Colour cardstock.
It has no watermark so if it’s yours, please let me know so I can give you credit.
It’s so pretty, but I couldn’t do it justice, as they say, must try harder!

Thanks for taking the time to visit, and I really appreciate your comments
More super colourful trees and leaving the 'waste' in does give them a lovely texture - good thinking. Just LOVE your midnight scene with Santa flying across the beautiful sky
ReplyDeleteLove your two cards Lesley - and can see why you were inspired by the colourful tree card at the end of your post.
ReplyDeleteThe scenic one is very dramatic. I'm sure it'll flatten out under a heavy tome or too! Or give it a run through your die cutting machine (with unscratched plates).
