Hi there, I hope all is good with you? We have been spoiled lately with wonderful weather but it's raining on and off today so I decided to have a crafty afternoon, it's good to be playing again!
So I just wanted to share my quick card for LIM where this week the challenge is to make a one layer card with a coloured base. I chose black!
Edited: I made a silly mistake and 'black' is not on the coloured card list duh!! silly me!!
This could be quite a tricky challenge, working with a dark base you have to be able to make a lighter image, luckily I have a great ink pad > Brilliance, moonlight white :D
I used a mask and inked through it and coloured with various Copic pens
Thank you for dropping by, I hope you have a great weekend, hugs Gay x
Supplies:D I bought mine from the Craft Barn
Imagination Crafts, Dragonflies Poppies mask
Moonlight White Brilliance ink pad
White pen

Wow Gay - a stunning card. The flowers really "pop" out of the black background - so classy and elegant, as your cards always are! Love that Poppy mask!

Soo beautiful Gay! Love it! Hope you keep on crafting and blogging for fun!!! That's what most important to feel joy!! Even though I don't make comment on all your posts I love them and thinks about you. As you say time isn't always enough.
Happy spring!

Absolutely gorgeous card Gay, I love how you've done the flowers. (but am I going to be the only party pooper and say you weren't supposed to use black - mind you I wouldn't worry about it, one of Chrissie's cards isn't even one layer! Guffaw!). xx
wonderful card ,love the flowers
Beautiful Gay, the white stamping on black really pops. Your colouring adds to it as well. Hope you are having a great weekend, Cheers, Shirleyx
What a stunningly beautiful card those flowers are wonderful

Hi Gay!
Your card is stunning! I love florals, and yours look beautiful against the black card. Such a lovely technique, too.
Thank you for stopping by my blog, and your lovely comments! xx

Beautiful Gay. Snap.......I made mine on kraft card til I read the instructions again! Still posted it as I thought I'd got more than enough colour on it...... Your card is beautiful and I don't think it would look so sensational done on another colour.

This is gorgeous Gay! A real WOW factor here

It looks fabulous Gay, very dramatic, I love the pretty flowers too :) Viv xx
I don't think it matters that you chose black - it's simply stunning! I MUST give that technique a try (although I doubt mine will look half as good!)

great looking card, love the contrast!
Fantabulous delicious card, love it.
I've never before have seen such a stunning and gorgeous card! it's so elegant and stunning :)

I'm sorry black is a neutral, apparently. No matter, Gay, this card is a total winner in my book and it's being saved in the winner folder! I shall be trying this; I have that white ink. I'm drooling over the effect you achieved of pink blossoms shimmering in the moonlight!!
I'm so glad you made a mistake with your card base colour choice Gay, otherwise we wouldn't have got to see this absolutely stunning card. I love masks and think I need to seek this one out because it's a beauty and your skill shows it off to perfection.
