Paper Play DT - Back to Black


Hi Blogging Beauties,

Its is Thursday and that means Paper Play Day!

This week the challenge is Back to Black.  The aim is to use a black background on your card.
We are sponsored by Meljen Designs...one of my most fave digi stamps ever!


I made two cards.  The first one is using a Meljen Design image perfect for Valentine's Day.  

The second one using a note card from the Prima Too Cute Collection.


I have been inspired by the talented Nerrida Mitchell who is a designer at Aussie Cards for Sale to have a go at doing these flower/button/ribbon arrangements.  Nerrida's cards are for sale at Aussie Cards for Sale along with some other amazing designers.  Pop on over to this site for some great inspiration and many different card styles!


I would like to enter the following challenges:

The Lollipop Ladies - Allsorts of Things
The Beary Scrap Design Team - Love and Friendship (Top card)

Thanks for visiting today.
Link up your black cards to Paper Play and be in the running for a great prize!
