Black & White + 1 = HIMCR Challenge 144 and a Giveaway Party

Giveaway, HIMCR #144, Valentine's17 Comments
Hi everyone. It’s with great joy that I write this post today. I have wonderful news to share with you… I was chosen DT member for Hiding in My Craftroom. HIMCR, as it’s also known, is a fun website where Laurie (the loveliest person ever) shares videos, offers giveaways, challenges, and much more. Currently it’s had more than a million hits, and visitors keep on coming. I am so happy to be part of this design team. I’m having so much fun getting to know all of my fellow designers and I thank everyone for welcoming me so kindly.

So now let me tell you about the very first HIMCR challenge in which I feature my work as DT member. This week we are challenged to make a project in black and white plus one more color of our choice. 

Our sponsor this week is Blue Moon Creation. They offer a great variety of craft supplies for today’s crafter: photopolymer stamps, digital stamps, embellishments and more. To visit their store click here. Blue Moon Creation is giving away some fabulous digital stamps to the winner of this challenge.

I am lucky to be able to use one of their elegant images on my design for today: BMC-0016 Language of Love. Check it out:

Materials
Spellbinders:
– Grand Large Labels
– Grand Calibur die cutting machine
Craft Concepts embossing folder
DoCrafts Xcut Large Dies – Leafy Flourishes
Bazic:
– Double Sided Foam Mounting Tape
– Double Sided Tape
Other generic materials
7/8″ gross grain ribbon in hot pink
Textured cardstock in black and white
Linen cardstock in white
Bond paper in hot pink
Vintage black button

This is a 5⅜” x 7″ label shaped card I layered with a smaller coordinating hot pink label and a polka dot embossed layer in black. The image is the focus of the card and it was carefully hand cut and adhered to a black heart frame. To finish the design I added some paper flourishes, ribbon and an embellished bow.
 
Now it’s time for you to hop along and check what my fellow designers created for the challenge.
