Black Paisley

Welcome to our International Project Highlights using current Stampin’ Up!® Products. We would love it if you could visit every one of our blogs and see a close up of our projects. You can see the gallery below and this will be on every blog that you click on so you will never be lost.

My card features the Paisleys and Posies stamp set from the Holiday Catalog.  I stamped a variety of images on a panel of Basic Gray card stock in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, then added dots and fill with the White Stampin’ Chalk Marker.

The sentiment is from Endless Birthday Wishes, and was stamped on a long strip of Basic Black card stock in Whisper White Craft ink and then heat embossed with White Embossing Powder. I adhered the strip to the Basic Gray panel on the diagonal, then snipped the ends flush with the edges.  A length of Silver Glitter Ribbon was tied around as well, then the panel was mounted on Whisper White and a Basic Black card base.

One more paisley image was stamped on the inside panel to finish it off.

I personally think this is very striking, but some might think that the black & white is too stark or maudlin for a birthday card.  I’d love for you to leave me a comment and let me know how you feel!

Thanks for visiting my blog today, there are so many amazing ideas and inspiration you don’t want to miss. We know that you will love our gallery of projects made from Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators around the world!
