AAA Cards Challenge 254 : this one challenged me!

It's time for another challenge with AAA Cards and we have a colour challenge "black, gold and white". Sounded fab, opulent and perfect for a Christmas card but OMG  I couldn't do it clean and simple so watch this space hopefully you will see in the future some busy and complex cards with these 3 colours as my desk has lots of bits from my first try.

I ended up using a card design I use a lot (the wee window) plus some clean gold embossing and a bit of black to make it pop. I'm actually really rapt how it all turned out, it's rather dramatic. I love the font for the sentiment and I feel this would be a really effective Sympathy card design too.


Supply List:
Stamps: Flower Field Background (MFT), To the Wise One (HB - sentiment)
Ink: Versamark, Versafine Clair Nocturne
Paper: Neenah White, Black
Other: Master Layouts 3 (GKD), gold and clear embossing powder, embossing buddy
Challenge: AAA Cards #254


Well that certainly challenged me, I hope you can join us as we would love to see what you come up with. Do check out all the other fab cards on display as this really is a colour combo that packs a punch. As always when I see what the DT and then everyone that plays along creates I'm always amazed and inspired and hopefully you will be too.

Thanks for popping in.

      Thanks Maaike, this challenge "challenged me" all right but so happy with final result, something I never ever would have thought of creating!
