Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for
I love B&W cards so this was up my street. I had an image that I used here, I took it into my digital die cutting machine and cut him out in black card. I then embossed white and black card to see which I liked better, I inked them both with white and black ink and decided I liked both. I cased my own cards! 😀
I realised when adding the TMR logo, they could be brothers?
I printed the computer generated sentiment, which I die cut in a circle and rectangle, they were layered onto black and silver card as were the embossed cards. All placed onto the main card with gems added.

Love them Faith, do love to see a good design and this hits the spot, gorgeous.xx
ReplyDeleteGreat cards Faith! I might even case them myself :) Re. the Gemini - you most likely will want to keep your Cuttlebug as well if you have any of the thick (about half an inch like the Tim Holtz ones) dies. My shoulder problems do make winding the Cuttlebug handle hard going hence the Gemini. Now I have the choice! Keep on with the hints :)

Fantastic cards Faith! I sometimes make multiples to see which colour way I like best and it’s hard to choose! They are both individual and perfect. X

A fab masculine card! Love the black and white color combo! Wonderful text background, too!
ReplyDeleteBoy, this sprained ankle has really kept me away from my regular visits to friends' blogs. So sorry, my friend. I adore these masculine cards. what a great idea to do them in black and white. I know that was the challenge theme but it is really striking!
ReplyDeleteFaith, you did a great job here on these two cards. I love how they are inverted still using the same black silhouette on both. Lovely male cards.
