Dynamic Duos #44

It's black tie week at Dynamic Duos... so this week we are featuring So Saffron and Basic Black with a dessert option of using ribbon on your project!  I've been wanting to use this particular sentiment for a while, and thought it would be great on a black/white/colour card.  I'm not a huge bling person, but the silhouette image & the quote lent themselves nicely to me using CTMH's new black glitter paper.  I used plain black cardstock as well, and I really like how the matte paper looks with the glitter paper (it shows up a little better in person).  I'm even counting the strip of rhinestones as 'ribbon' for this challenge!

We would love to have you join us this week, we ask that you use just our two colours (and you can add neutrals if needed) - if you don't have the exact colours, just use something similar.  Check out all the fab ideas from the design team over at the Dynamic Duos blog, or you can see them listed on my sidebar.

Patterned paper is Bella; Cardstock is White Daisy, Black and Black glitter paper; Stamp sets are Be Yourself & Scrapbook Statements - Women; Ink is Black - all Close To My Heart; Spellbinders dies; Rhinestones, Fabricland.

Freshly Made Sketches #76

I think that this paper pack was retired several years ago... and this is the first project that I've made with it!!  Sigh.  I actually pulled it out for a second card after this one, so maybe it's finally getting it's due.  I tipped this week's Freshly Made Sketch over on it's side, and popped up the wings of my butterflies to give them a little dimension:

 

Patterned papers are Bella; Cardstock is Kraft, Hollyhock & Colonial White; Stamp set is Say it in Style; Ink is Hollyhock; Mocha Opaque pearls - all CTMH; Elegant Butterflies die, Taylored Expressions.
