Color Hues #20 - AQUA & BLACK

Hello friends.  Today I'm playing along with the Color Hues Challenge where they are looking for cards with the colors AQUA and BLACK.


Such a pretty color combination!!  I love AQUA, and BLACK just totally pops off of it!  I could have made a 100 cards with this color combination, but unfortunately I only had time for one!!  Take a look:


I used The Greetery's Tartan Builder Diagonal stencils to make my plaid background with Gina K's Sea Glass and Ocean Mist inks.  I only used 3 of the 5 stencils that come with the set, but it really didn't need anything else as I wanted the background to stay soft looking.  I cut the panel down a little and matted it with a black mat before adhering both to a top folding white card base.


I used a couple Memory Box dies for my sentiment (Just a Note Posh Script) and the butterfly (Vivienne Butterfly) with black cardstock, and then finished simply with some glitter on the butterfly wings, a few clear gems, and a piece of black & white baker's twine.  Easy and simple but I love the way it turned out!

Make sure you check out all the beautiful inspiration from the DT right HERE and then play along with this lovely color combination!!  :0)

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

I love a good plaid and yours is so soft and pretty, Marcia. That butterfly die is one of my favorites and it pops on the plaid.

Wow! This black butterfly is awesome against the soft aqua plaid background! You did this color challenge beautifully, my friend!

This is so well laid out and balanced Marcia! Love that greeting die and the way you did the twine is just perfect. I know if you had time to make 100 cards in this color combo they would be as perfect as this one. I am so happy to see you in the gallery once again at Color Hues. Take care!
