Thank You Card for Challenges




Hi friends!
Several photos of today's card due to light issues.. The black card I used is truly black, not "worn out black" as it looks like in the photos of the whole card. 

I' entering:

Less Is More: Washi



AAA Cards: Use Die Cuts



CAS on Sunday: Sentiment



I've made a sort of masculine card where I played with gold-black washi that has a distressed, foiled look -I think it was the shimmer from the foil that gave my little old pocket camera the hard time! The die cut sentiment comes from Taylored Expressions and it was a gift from my wonderful Time Out DT friend Jill. If you don't know her blog My Life In Paper you are in for a treat when you go ahead and click HERE! Thank you Jill for this awesome die!

The card is very dimensional -I've popped up the black panel with fun foam and there's 4 layers in the die cut sentiment. My first time using Stick It adhesive by the way -how did I ever survive without?!? What a product! I'm never stacking dies without this baby again! 

I hope you like my card and thanks for popping by.

What a fab card Nonni! The black card stock packs so much impact and the hints of gold and the stripes on the washi give it such a stylish air. Really fabulous and eye catching! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Less is More :)

I just love how you used this die - the shape of the letters goes so perfectly with the graphics lines of the washi and the black card - genius design! I'm really happy that you liked the die - I knew you would create something amazing with it and you totally di :)

Oh Nonni, this is a very clever way to use washi. I'm going to have to pin this one for future reference. Wonderful CAS design too. Thanks for linking up and playing with us at AAA cards!
