Black tie Friday

It's Yellow and Black this week at Black Tie Friday! I pretty much like any color with black - It always makes the colors  pop! And colors I like! Anybody who has come to my blog knows that.....



So here is my take on it: 

I made this flower from six 1 inch circles and assembled them to this rosette. I punched a 2 inch circle into the front of the card and lined up the flower rosette on the inside of the card so that it is centered. I had this chevron strip (Papertrey Zig Zag die) left over from the fusion card - I never throw anything out - you should see my stash of paper scraps - it keeps growing and growing.....And lastly I put a ready made flower into the center of the circle flower.









 
By the way - I did not come up with the circle flower idea - I learned about it last year in the Clean and Simple online class I took. There is no sentiment here - I did not think it needed one.

Stunning card! So bright and bold in the black and yellow and I agree with you, no sentiment needed. Just fabulous.

This card is super cute, I really like the description of jovial on the front and your flower is really neat. Your zig zag is a great accent. Thanks for playing with Black Tie Fridays.

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it.
