Black is beautiful

Hellooo friends, welcome back!! Today I am sharing a black beauty :). I started by stamping the lovely hibiscus stamp from Mudra on black paper and embossed using silver embossing powder. This looks lovely and shimmers in light. I had plans to use these for some other card but on the spur of moment I decided to give a try with black on black. I was not so confident but nevertheless went ahead.

I fuzzy cut the flowers and leaves and adhered using foam tape on black cardstock. Added a strip of patterned paper and few rhinestones to add some element.

So this is how it looks.



 A closer look. Believe me it looks best when it shimmers





Supplies used:
Mudra Stamp for flower
Simon Says Stamp sentiment
WOW silver embossing powder
Papericious PP

  7. This is one of those cards where it looks fabulous in person and is so hard to capture in a photo. I love silver embossing and this is gorgeous against a black background. Love the CAS design too. So very glad you played along with us at TIME OUT!!
