Hey friends! Thanks for stopping by my blog. Today I am helping to kick off the latest Ai challenge, “Black Tie Affair.” The only requirement is to make a project that is mainly black and white. You can find mroe details on this challenge here. My card features the adorable bear in a tea cup from the 5005 – Valentine Bears Set. Keep reading below for more details on how I made this monochromatic card.
For this challenge, I decided to create a simple, contrasting card design. First, I cut a 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ black panel that is matted onto an A2 solid white piece of cardstock. Next, I used the Rounded Rectangle A2 Double Stitched Die measuring approximately “3 1/2 x 4 5/8” to cut the front layer.
After ink blending the top layer with a retired Hearts and Dots stencil from Kindred Stamps and Pumice Stone Distress Oxide ink, I stamped the sentiment with pigment black ink. To finish the card, I added black and gray rhinestones for embellishment.
To color the bear and tea cup I used two different tones of gray Copic markers to create a contrast between the cup and the cuddly bear. The colors I used are listed at the end of this post. I used warm grays (W’s) for the bear and cool grays (C’s) for the cup. I used foam tape to attach the adorable image to the card front.
Hope this latte love creation has inspired you today. Check out some more of my Art Impressions creations here!
