I really love black and yellow together but I have to admit the gray threw me for a bit, but after some trial and error, a satisfactory card emerged lol!
I knew I was going to use my Altenew Buttercup Bunch die set, because, well, buttercups are yellow lol! It's a rather modern style so I tried different graphic designs for the background, but nothing worked. Then I realized I was using too dark of a gray so I went searching around and found the stenciled background I ended up using. It was in with some Stampin' Up neutral scraps and was one of my last pieces of Smoky Slate (which I didn't even know I still had!).
The panel was stenciled using Versamark ink. I trimmed it down to have a white border on each side, then added the black strip. The flowers were arranged with the stems glued down and the flowers popped up using thin foam squares. The stacked sentiment was adhered, then a few Onyx gems finished things off.
What are you inspired to create with this color trio? I think it would work equally well for a more "masculine" card. The rest of the design team has fabulous inspiration with a variety of designs over at the challenge blog, so I encourage you to head over and take a peek. The challenge will remain open until Friday April 17th at 3pm EDT. I hope to see you there!
Thanks for stopping by!
