MIM #260

  MAKE IT MONDAY

From Black and White to Color

Oh my, we get some fabulous tips from the wonderful Miss Danielle Flanders as she demonstrates a really cool technique to pop your black and white stamped backgrounds with a colorful focal point, that lines up with the original background images!
You can check out her beautiful card and video HERE.

I thought this was a really pretty look for cards and have done this with those popular coloring book pages that are out now.  

My Card ~
I watercolored Peonies On Parade and tied some silver thread around the sliced card stock to accentuate the black and white stamped portion. Popped the white panel onto a Raspberry Pink card base.
