Welcome to Day 3 of the 12 Days of Holiday Inspiration Blog Event brought to you by "The Inspiration Crew". We’re a group of online crafty blog friends who love being creative. This time we're doing a 12-day event to provide you with tons of Holiday Inspiration.
I love the drama and artsy feeling of this black and white card. I used a Stampin' Up image, coloured with a green copic and then I added a tiny red die-cut circle (from a starburst die). I smeared Stickles around the edge of the panel and that results in a lifted-edge which adds a bit of interest.
I remade the card for my Church Christmas Card project using a different colour scheme. The red and gold is more traditionally Christmas and very warm.

Stunning card, can't decide which one I like best but think I would go with the black as I do like a touch of drama!!
ReplyDeletelove these. the top card is one of my all time faves!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are eye-catching! I like the stark contrast of the first one.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Sandie...absolutely stunning. I love the drama of the black and white and the subtly inked edges of the paper.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous :) I love the pop of green n red on ur card
ReplyDeleteEach card is gorgeous in its own way... love the black, but the lines on the second remind me of pin-tucking - just fantastic, Ardyth!

ReplyDeleteYou need to stop. Everytime I visit your blog, I see one (or more) cards, and think, "this one is my favorite of Ardyth's cards." Think I'll just love them all! These are beautiful. Love the contrast of the black and white, and love the more traditional red and gold colors. Fantastic, dear friend!! Bev

Looks great in both color schemes.
ReplyDeleteGlad I don't have to choose between these two beautiful cards, Ardyth ... the dramatic black and white on the first is fantastic, especially with the pops of colour ... and the warm red with gold is gorgeous, love the subtle lines and that single red berry! The most amazing thing is how you've created such different looks ... brilliant! Anita :)
