Morning and I have a card made which I followed a sketch challenge and using some new papers BUT I'm not totally happy with the result, I backed the papers on black thinking the colours would pop but I think it's had the opposite effect and dulled them down-I should have stuck with white!!! The paper is from a box full of papers from Crafters Companion which were a bargain on a FB decluttering page. The frame dies are from Crafters Companion too had those a while, the stamped sentiment is a Stampin Up one.
PLEASE NOTE IF ANY CHALLENGES HAVE DIGIS FOR PRIZES-I AM JUST PLAYING FOR FUN AND SUPPORT AS I HAVE NO PRINTER

Lovely card , you used the sketch very well
Like the wonderful butterfly in the middle...
Nice evening and weekend , hugs Epie 💚
The vintage style papers are beautiful against the black Carol
I think the black works. Perhaps you should make another with white to see the difference. Either way, it is good to be using those papers. They have a lovely vintage feel xx
Beautiful card with fabulous papers and the butterfly, which is the focal, does pop and I like the black..gorgeous Carol..

Very beautiful card Carol! Love love love those papers and your idea to back with the black and white panels is such a clever idea as it works so well and blends in nicely with the sketch!! Love it!
You made good use of the sketch to create this lovely card Carol. I love the papers with those beautiful muted colours and I think the black mats look great.

Hindsight comes along and plays tricks with our brains. It does with me all the time. The black sets one mood, white does another. This paper and design would be beautiful either way. I think it looks gorgeous!
What a beautiful card, Carol! The butterfly is a stunning focal point, and I think the black mats actually enhance the vintage feel of the papers.
A great design, lovely papers and a beautiful butterfly too. A beautiful result Carol. x
It is a beauty! Hugs, Gerrina
Very pretty - love those designer papers! Thanks for joining us at Pearly Sparkles xoxoox
I think the black works beautifully Carol and adds to the vintage feel of the papers you used. Beautiful card!
Beautiful layout, and love the soft muted earthy tones ♥
Hi Carol, I love your Butterfly Birthday card. Those design papers have a wonderful vintage feel and I think your Butterfly looks brilliant backed in black it does make it pop, especially how I'm looking at it. I think sometimes we look at our cards too long and then find faults in them which other people don't see. Thanks so much for joining us and I look forward to seeing more of your lovely cards. Thanks so much for sharing your work with us over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 and good luck.
Hugs

This card is gorgeous, I actually like the dark card for the layering. xx
What a pretty butterfly! Thanks for sharing at Ally's Angels!
This is so beautiful, Carol. You are too critical of yourself. The designpaper looks so great and has a lovely vintage feel to it. Your black backing really accentuates the beautiful paper. I think it goes really well with it. I love the middle die with the fabulous butterfly and the stiched die in white and black.
Thank you for sharing your card with the current Everybody Art Challenge.
Hugs, Uschi
