Happy New Year to my dear blogging buddies! I hope 2022 is especially good to each and every one of you, and your families, too. Allsorts Challenge has a theme of Black and White and one other color theme this time. From my unfinished box, I've finally completed two partially-made items - both using Red Tones as the 3rd color.
The Paula's Best Dress is an old, old, old, never-before-been-used (at least 15 years?) stamp, embossed in white detail powder, and enhanced a bit with a quickie glue pen and sparkling red glitter:
Thanks for visiting! And thanks to Allsorts Challenge for the inspiration!

These are stunning cards Donna, I like your black, white and red color combo, very elegant and striking! You have such a knack for many beautiful layers which is also a talent! Happy New Year to you and your hubby!
ReplyDeleteSo pleased to see a post from you Donna, not just because you have joined in at Allsorts which is wonderful, but because I noticed before Christmas you hadn't posted since early October, so I am happy to see you on both fronts.
ReplyDeleteTwo striking cards and the pops of red against the black and white work beautifully plus the hints of glitter on the dress card a perfect addition.
Lovely to see you at Allsorts, thank you and wishes for a good 2022, let's hope it's a kinder year to the whole World.

Hey Happy New year! Good to 'see' you! Love your creations! Black, White and Red are such a classic color combo, they look great, as do your layers and dies--those stars are awesome! Beautiful creations!
ReplyDeleteGood to see a post from you, Donna. I hope that 2022 is a Happy and Healthy one. Two striking cards here. Loving the punches and layers you used. That carousel horse is especially pretty!
ReplyDeleteOh Donna so good to see you posting again your beautiful creations. Isn't it funny how we can let so many years go by before we use a crafty item, but they come out just when they are needed. These are fabulous, I really love the horse one. Great use of those dies and punches too!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you posted I was worried something was wrong when you didn't answer my message on messenger.
Take care
Happy New Year, Donna! I totally love these creations! This is one of my all time fave color combinations, and you knocked these out of the park! The sentiment on the dress card will have me shouting woohoo all day! Great job, as always! Hugs and blessings to you!
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous cards Donna, I love the card images, especially the hobby horse

Happy New Year, Donna! These are 2 fabulous cards, I somlove this horse, I remember it from previous projects, you always make something stunning with it. I also fancy that more than a decade old unused dress. Cards with limited colors look really nice.
ReplyDeleteSo good to see you posting these two really pretty cards Donna. Great to use older dies/punches etc too. They both are so striking with the dramatic black and white and then the pop of red. Loved the sentiment on the dress and that ever so pretty carousal x. Here's to a Healthy and Crafty 2022 Donna x.
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards I like the red added into the black and white
ReplyDeleteWow... what an awesome make! Pretty done...
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing along with our Challenge at Critter Crazy and good luck!
Hugs and please come back soon!

Head-turningly gorgeous cards. Red, white and black is a perpetual favourite colour palette for me and one that I wear more days than not during the winter months (and to a degree, the whole year through).
ReplyDeleteYour awesome designs never fail to inspire and delight me, and these two beauties are no exception.

It feels good to finish up those things that have been sitting for a while, doesn't it? Also to use a not yet used stamp plus a favorite oldie. I remember you using the carousel horse before and it's gorgeous every time. These colors are great for it and your designs for both cards are fabulous. It was good talking with you today, Donna.
ReplyDeleteVery nice work as always thanks for sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteDonna, both of your cards are absolutely lovely. Red, white and black is one of my favourite colour combos - always very dramatic, don't you think? Beautifully done, my friend. I'm so glad to see that you're back to crafting, hopefully this means that you're feeling better. Look forward to your next project.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day.
