Hello Friends!
WOW! Just in the last hour the smoke has rolled into Akron, Ohio from the Canadian fires. They say we are in the 'unhealthy' range so I'll just hide in my crafting cave and make cards! After yesterday's birthday, I'm too old to not play it safe when it comes to breathing and the air qualify around me lol.
Anyways, I've been wanting to play along in the A Place to Start Challenge ✓ (Rising Star Honor) where their optional theme is Black & White. Here's their inspiration offering for the twist . . .
This also gave me a chance to use up more of my scraps and I just happened to have a couple pieces of 2 sided b/w in the box ... here's what I created . . . what do you think?
I've been obsessed lately with using up this mountain of scraps I have in the box and I'm thrilled with the outcome of this card!
Challenges to share in:
Creative Creases #117 - ATG with a fun fold (ends 8/6) ✓
Snippets Playground Challenge #536 - ATG with snippets (ends 7/18) ✓
Hope you like it and Hope you have a great day today!!
Be careful out there!!! Crazy times we are living in these days!!
As always . . .
Very elegant and classy, a beautiful way to use those scraps and of course making a fancy fold makes it even better!!

Lovely shaped card in monochromatic scheme with a touch of embossing. I like the little latch you made. Take care while the air quality is bad.
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming to play in the Snippets Playground. See you in the paddling pool later.xxx
Very nice indeed Darlene! Love that black and white paper pack - without checking here I think it's Altenew and super-useful. i love how you happily mixed up the designs so well.

Yes you are correct Di ... it is an Altenew paper pack!
DeleteYou came up with a wonderful design for your card, and do like how you used your scraps on the inside too, I could do that easily with my cards too, the scraps pile is getting out of control!
ReplyDeleteOh, Darlene, this card is so elegant in black and white! I love the fun fold you used and no one would know that you are using paper from a scrap box! Thank you for participating in the Creative Creases Challenge! We hope you can join us again soon. Your support is greatly appreciated!

A black and white card is always so striking and you do them so well! Very crisp and pretty, and a fun fold to boot!
ReplyDeleteDar~LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! Black and whites are my fave and this paper just melts my heart. The fun fold is fantastic and I thank you for entering it in the Creative Creases Challenge. I'm sure you saw my card for this month was B & W! Hope you'll keep supporting us.

What a fabulous response to our Black and White Challenge at A Place to Start! Your card and envelope ensemble is fabulous! I love how clever you were with your paper selection and the integration of geometrics throughout the design. Great Job!
