Good morning, everyone! I made a card yesterday that I wanted to share with you all. I used some delicious American Crafts products, and added a dash of flair with my Crop-a-dile and some scraps.
I loved the black paper with white dots, but when I added my "Thank you" embellishment it just didn't look finished. I needed something to tie in the colour palette of the leaves with the background of the card. I decided to add a little bit of confetti in orange and blue to the line of white dots already on the paper to complete the design.
First, I took some scraps from the American Crafts "Nightfall" line and used the small end of the Crop-a-dile to punch some confetti:
I flattened out the little bits:
and used a glue pen to stick them down in the gaps in the dotted white line:
Voila-- a little extra bit of colour that ties the whole design together!
Have a great day everyone!

Love the impact this card has. Black always provides a stunning background to make colours really pop. Great job and love the idea.

Love this!!! Never seen a punch like that- I really like the color cots on the dark background- very effective
