Today I have a card I made for the current addicted to CAS Challenge #158 codeword contrast. I just love cards with good contrast so I got out my distress inks and made this:
I recently bought a pack of "life changing" blender brushes and have fallen in love with blending, you get a wonderful smooth blend and you can really load the brushes with ink so you can get a vibrant colour. The rest of the card was easy, the poppy die is by Memory Box and I cut it from black glossy coated card from Clarity Stamp. I have used the same card for the base and heat embossing a simple greeting.
You can see the shine on the card in this picture:
And here is a close up:

Lovely card Hillary, thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink.
A gorgeous, dramatic yet very beautiful card. The warm glow from the orange provides a wonderful backdrop for the poppy silhouette. Superb use of die cuts. Thank you so much for joining us at Less is More xx
I do like the hint of gloss on the black poppy die, it really stands out against the colourful background. Chantell Just Add Ink
Amazing blending and what fabulous colours. The pop of glossy black looks stunning. Such a striking card....love it x
Very dramatic and bold creation! Thankyou for sharing with us at Just Add Ink x
Love the silhouette with the warm blend behind, a really striking design. Unfortunately, I think you've missed that our challenge this time was for one layer cards so on this occasion it won't qualify for a showCASe or prize. Please do join us again. Thanks so much for sharing with us at Less is More, Anita x
