I love these! The background remins me of an old fashioned chalkboard. Beautiful.

Beautiful and striking on black. Didn’t even know black MM even existed. I have black watercolor paper which I have yet to use.

Wow, you make me want to get out my black MM paper, Christine. I love all your stamping and heat embossing. I am off to check out your details on Magenta. Stay Safe and Creative, my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy

Beautiful cards Christine. I haven't had time to play with the black mixed media paper yet, so I'm learning lots through you! :) I love mix of colours you've used on top of the black ... so pretty! Waiting for my speckled egg inks to arrive ... hopefully soon! xx

Nstiz said...

Wow do I love the effect of white ink on black! It’s quite powerful and I never guessed the watercoloring would show up so well! I definitely will get some black mixed media paper. How fun. Your backgrounds again are spectacular with that wonderful mix of stamps.

Wow, I LOVE the fabulous watercolored and splattered black MM background, Christine! The white heat-embossed flowers beautifully pop.
The white ink and clear heat-embossed mandalas and script are also beautiful! They have a soft impression and give a dreamy feeling. Very different look from the first card. Both cards are awesome!
