CAS Black Elegance – by Deb Saaranen

Deb created a card for today that is noticeably different.  We often see white on white cards, but how about black on black? Deb wanted to create an elegant card, which she equated to that “little black dress” hanging in the closet.  Simple and understated, something that can be dressed up or dressed down (and we’ll talk about that further down).  The beautiful stamped background image is embossed in black, on black cardstock and simply adorned with one sparkly Kaisercraft Sparklet. The options for this quick and easy card design are endless.  Let’s take a look:

Elegant simplicity! Adding a white panel to the inside with a sentiment in black would convey classic elegance. Perfect for a formal wedding.

This card can easily be customized to coordinate with any wedding theme by using a different color paper/embossing powder.

Adding a monogram to the center, rather than the stone, is another option.

And a few simple additions can “dress up” this classic beauty.  How about a beautifully scripted sentiment panel, or maybe a silk ribbon and bow?

LOVE this CAS design that is wide open for so many interpretations!
