Black, white and red

Don't you think black and white cards look elegant?  I do, so what happens when you add another colour to the mix?  It turns out like this. 




Made for a friend who recently celebrated her 60th birthday.  Some people like to put big numbers all over their cards, but really, after about the age of 16, who likes to be reminded of how old they are.  I prefer to forget about the numbers and concentrate on the birthday part.  

The Happy Birthday has been "coloured in" with Glossy Accents to give it a shine, and the flowers were sprayed with shimmer for a sparkled.

  1. Yes I love these colours - they stand out and I think are quite elegant. Love the card too.

  2. Black and white are brilliant together, then you have a touch of colour and red is perfect.
