Papertrey January Blog Hop


I absolutely love cards that are made using black!  It just makes colors pop.  Black backgrounds are no exception, so I just had to play along with PTI this month.



I heat embossed images from Dot Spot in white and then added some sparkle with red rhinestones.  For the birthday banner, I lightly colored the die cut with my C1 Copic marker while still in the die.

Happy Hopping!

Hi Sara!! I love how those spots look embossed, and how you added the touch of color with bling in their centers. The banner is adorable.
