Our new challenge at Seize The Birthday has a Toppings option of a Black & White color combination. There are so many possibilities that I had a hard time deciding!
Of course, as always, the Topping is an option. Anything goes...as long as it's birthday themed!
I did a bit of experimenting on this card. Here is what I created.
That background was created by applying white pigment ink over a stencil. I faded it as I worked toward the top left corner. I love the effect! It makes me think of the shadow from sunlight shining though a leaded glass window. What do you think?
I die cut 3 hollyhocks to layer over the background, applied a few drops of black enamel accents to the flower centers, then layered my sentiment strip over it all.
I hope you'll play along with us at Seize The Birthday. We love seeing what you create. :)
