CARD 1: I had this vague design in my head. I also wanted to experiment with whether black card is acceptable if you add bright colours to it. Yes or no? I say yes. However after I made it I didnt like the single pink stripe under it that much...
CARD 2: The second in the 'is a black card ok?' test. This time I split the green so it was above and below the white. I liked it better. In actual fact this card is beautiful in real life but the night time photography hasnt done it justice. All the greens tone (ink, paper and flower).
CARD 3: Is a black flower ok? The first thing Ryan commented on was the black flower, he doesnt like it even if it has a pretty pearl centre. Design the same as the green card above, just different colours.
CARD 4: Two stripes underneath...ok but I think they should have been thinner?
CARD 5: And what happens when I move the poked holes to below instead of above? Does it work? Yeah I think so.

CARD 6: Using a scalloped edge and smaller flower. I think it's pretty, but I have these two black scraps left over from punching the scalloped edge. Slap them on the bottom, they're thin like I wanted in the red and blue card further up. I quite like this card, this along with the green are my favourites of tonight.
CARD 7: The same but purple, but then I decided to put one of the left over strips below and one above. Is this better, I dont know but I still like it.
CARD 8: I want to layer a bit more. I want white, then black scallop then another colour and onto the purple card but I cant find a 4th colour to tone in so I just used more white. I dont like it but it's useable.

That's interesting cos I flicked through the photos first before reading the entry and the one that caught my eye most was card three with the black flower - I really love it! It's different but very very stylish.
I agree with most of the things you have said, but the black flower definitely stands out
Kelly-Thanks so much for the comments on here lately, I really appreciate comments on my more neglected blogs lol.
Chrissy-Stands out in a good or bad way?
I came over here to see if you had posted any pics of last night's card making creativity but alas, no. :)
Kelly-that'd be because I sliced my thumb wide open on an ink pad before I got very much made! It was so intensly sore that as soon as the bleeding stopped I went to bed.
This morning it feels better (nerves musta died off a bit) so I'll upload what I had done before I hurt myself.
Card #5 is my favorite. I like the poked holes below---I think they stand out more.
The black flower is goth-cool.
:O A Swistle comment! *happy Heather*
