{Abundant Blessings} November Diva Inspirations Blog Hop


Hi guys,

who says you can't pair black with brown?! I say rules are there to be broken (once you've mastered them of course) soo my little pattern-happy  card here features some brown DP with lots of black around it. :)
Did you all have a great halloween?? I had a wonderful time...it was so much fun to dress up in a funky costume which let's face it doesn't happen all that often. I went steampunk this year, with aviator goggles, a little jacket and pants, a corset belt, pigtails, red lips, black smoky eyes and torn fishnet stockings. Ha super fun!!

    What??? No steampunk photo? Glad you had fun! I love this card, and you're right, black and brown DO pair up together beautifully--you just proved it so well! Love the distressing, the twine and those antiqueish brads. Fabulous!

    I would never say you can't pair black with brown, I use brown and black more than any other colors probably! Love vintage card Sonya - and it fulfills the requirements of this week's challenge over at There She Goes Clear Stamps as well if you wanted to enter it.
