Papertrey Ink January Blog Hop - Take One

Hi there!  It's time for the January blog hop at Papertrey Ink.  This month's challenge is black backgrounds!  I'm super excited about this one, so I have actually made three projects!  I will post them all separately, so stay tuned. 

First, let me link you up to the hop on Nichole Heady's blog.  Here's the challenge:

January-Blog-Hop-Inspiration
 
 
My first project is very Dawn McVey inspired!  I just love her!  Here it is:
 
 
 
See what I mean?  Very Dawn McVey with all the layers, no?  I've been dying to use the patterned paper in the background and I think it is set off perfectly with the black background. 
 

 
Thanks for stopping by and come back again to see my other entries in the hop!
 
Kate

    For sure, I can see Dawn in there! Like your last powder blue and cream, the colors on this one are marvelous! Nice flow, too.

    Wonderful color choices, and I love the white leaves. (Note to self: Leaves don't have to be green. Remember how good they looked in white!) I did three cards for this challenge too. When the idea hits you just right, you can't stop at one....like potato chips.

    This turned out beautiful with the yellow and black. Such a lovely card with just enough bling.

    Yellow, grey and black is a very trendy colour combo. I love the way you used the background paper and half & half die. It really 'grounds' the images and creates a very unified look.

    Great composition, and you're right about that patterned paper. Delicious!
