A new card...

Hi! The vacations are on. My crafting time has expanded a bit since my daughter is at home to keep her little brother company.


So a new card for the current challenge at Beyond Grey Challenges, one of my absolute favourites. I loved the challenge when it was announced and was determined to play. The card came together quickly and looks exactly the way I wanted it. Which, at least for me, doesn't happen often!


The brief was to create a CAS card with black and gold. I love CAS and like both black and gold. So here is my entry for BGC #50: Back to CAS + Colour Challenge.

I used the sketch from House of Cards - April Challenge #2 CAS &/or Classic/Elegant + Sketch.




Here is a close up of the card.



Supplies used are black card stock, white handmade paper and assorted paper scraps. I prepared the background by using bubble wrap and metallic gold acrylic paint. Then flicked some black paint with my brush.



The sentiment is from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps: Bold Wishes. I embossed it with black embossing powder and then die cut into a circle. I deliberately kept the stray flecks of black before embossing as I wanted a slightly grungy look.

The chevron band was created using the zig zag die from the Shapeabilitites - On the Edge Cut/Emboss & Stencil Die set which I bought from Itsy Bitsy a while ago. I cut assorted paper and then glued them on a strip of scrap paper. The chevron band and sentiment are mounted on double sided tape. The final touch was gold sequins from my stash, for a bit of bling.
