Papertake Weekly GD card #2

Good afternoon everyone .... and welcome to another challenge at Papertake Weekly. Thanks so much for the fantastic response to last week's Anything Goes challenge - we were overwhelmed by the quantity and quality of the entries!

This week we have a fab colour combo for you .... it is

Black & White & Red All Over

and we are sponsored by the lovely Whiff of Joy - please see the main blog for details of the fabby prize :-)

Now I have to say when I first saw this colour combo I was rather quaking in my boots, as it is soooo out of my comfort zone ... but I had a little think and I surprisingly soon got into it - here's the result.

I immediately thought of this adorable LotV teddy as I had used him once before in a totally monochrome card ... so I thought I could give him a red tie to bring him into line with the challenge. Also having discovered digi papers for the first time, I decided to invest in a set of gingham papers as they are so versatile ... and I was already picturing teddy sitting on some black gingham along with the red gingham "Portobello Road" paper I already had close to hand. This was quite a simple card really but hopefully suitable for a male friend's birthday.

Stamps: LotV "Cheers Bear" and birthday sentiment circle;

Media: Promarkers;

Papers: Pink Petticoat black gingham; Papermania "Portobello Road" red gingham;

Supplies: gingham ribbon from local market and card candi from my stash;
