Another Black Magic

Hi stampin' folks. Today I want to share another card done with the Black Magic technique. This one is very simple since I still don't feel like I have mastered the technique.


I love the yellow, black and white combination and since the background design is mainly black, I just had to put it on a yellow card.

The image was stamped with Whisper White. After it dried, I colored it with Prismacolor Pencils and highlighted with the gel pen. I chose to do the dots on the frame instead of the flower. I hope that's not taking too much creative license with Karen's technique.

I'll keep practicing.

Card Recipe
Stamps: Bella's Bloom
Paper: Yo Yo Yellow, Basic Black, Whisper White
Ink: Whisper White
Acc.: Big Shot, SU Perfect Details, & Backgrounds 1 Texturz Plates, Ovals Originals Die, Black Satin Ribbon, Dimensionals

Hope you all have a wonderful Memorial Day. Please say a prayer for out servicemen past and present.

My First Black Magic Card

Hello Stampin' Friends. I told you yesterday that I had been working on a new (to me) technique that I would share with you today.

Ta da da daa! Here it is and it's called 'Black Magic'.

I first saw this technique done on a card by Karen Barber on Splitcoaststampers. You can go to her gallery here and her blog here. (I hope this is actually the tutorial link, but I'm never quite sure.)

This week the Technique Lover's Challenge is to do a card with that Old Black Magic.

So I gave it a try.

I need to work on this technique some more. Actually that sounds like fun to me!

Card Recipe

Stamps: Always, Together Forever

Paper: Basic Black, Whisper White

Ink: Whisper White

Acc.: Watercolor Pencils, Prismacolor Pencils, White Gel Pen, Big Shot, Texturz Plate, Ticket Corner, Large Oval & Designer Label Punches

I experimented on this next one and used SU Markers. It has a similar look but I like the colored & watercolor pencils on the first one better. They have a smoother look. (I see another reason to invest in the SU Watercolor Pencils.)

Card Recipe

Stamps: Always

Paper: Basic Black, Blush Blossom

It's fun to try new things and if they don't come out just right the first time, I can look forward to trying again. I hope this will inspire you to try something new.

Enjoy,

Bonnie
