i'm not sure i've ever made a christmas card that was all pink and black. not black as an accent, or a neutral element, but black as the main color. there's more black than pink, even... which is sayin' somethin' lol. but i like it. the design and layout came together really quickly because the baubles were leftovers from previous projects AND... i had an awesome sketch from atlantic hearts sketch challenge, to whom i say, "thanks very much" for the shoutout on my "aloha flamingo" card:

Super card, love the pink ornaments, great use of the sketch too.
ReplyDeleteLauren, I have to tell you this story...your blog post title makes me laugh! Do you remember the song "Tonight, tonight, tonight," from Genesis? A friend of mine and I used to call it "Tonight cubed" back in high school. That always cracked us up, so I thought your title was pretty funny too! Your card is beautiful, BTW! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat great contrast with the pinks and charcoal colors. Very festive.
ReplyDeleteWow, this is fabulous!!!! I love non-traditional colors for cards and this one is pure perfection. Thanks for joining us at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.

Another fab card, I'd never have put so much black on a Christmas card either but it defiantly works! Love those baubles they remind me of home.
