More black Magic

The kids didn't have school today. Too much flu, I guess. Thankfully for us, we've been healthy (I'm probably speaking too soon), so the boys wanted a friend to come over and play today. I was good with that. I'd rather have them here under our supervision than somewhere else. They like it here anyway, so it's win-win.

After I did the workshop the other night, I wanted to post another Black Magic idea. It really got me thinking about other designs and I just love how everything pops out against the black background. Besides, I'm kind of sick of Valentine's right now.

So here's my card:

I used the more "earthy" colors on this one, and many of the retired colors since I still have them. (Dang, I'm still upset about the "color renovation", can you tell?) And, of course, I had to add something a little 3-dimensional, so the butterflies worked perfectly. They were cut out of vellum.

We'll have to see what kind of time I have in the near future if I will be posting more "black magic" or if I'll get tired of that quickly, too. Oh well. Too many irons in the fire for me right now, but I still love stamping!!

Thanks for stopping by!

TTFN,

Debi

P.S. I forgot to mention another cool technique...misting with alcohol and shimmer paint. Adds so much to a plain background. You'll have to try it sometime.
