ColourQ279

Even Goths have birthdays and there's a special Goth lady in our family. She asked me to help her make a dark Valentine card for her other half recently and so when I saw this great colour challenge at ColourQ, I was inspired to try to make something she would like.


I also really like using newsprint - well, either old book pages or my SU Dictionary stamp. I was slightly hampered by not actually owning anything from the SU Brights collection, including Real Red, but I found a part piece of an un-named red that seemed a good match with Real Red in the catalogue and for ink I've used Distress Ink Barn Door and Versacolour Cardinal. So, here's what happened:




I rounded the corners of the card to echo the central circular panel. But most of all, I think this will appeal to my Goth girl.

Update: So happy to have this card picked as a Colour Queen Courtier at ColourQ
