Black With 2 November Palette

 
First day of November....
 
Already????
 
New Palette Reveal
 at
 
How sumptuously rich are
 these colours!
 


Dominant Black
Coffee/Toffee Brown
Cherry Red
5% White
 
My take for this month includes
 a treasured photo of my
 Great Grandmother's younger sister
 and her husband
- taken a year after their marriage.
 
I only came into possession of
 this photo last year.
 
Our ancestors are all out there,
we just gotta find them
 - wish it was that
easy...lol



My black background has been
 punched with
 Martha Stewart's Deep Edge PATP
 "Spiral Arches",
 popped up onto another
 sheet of black
 American Crafts cardstock.
Love the subtle shadow effect it gives.
 
The background, distressed paper
 is from
 Daisy D's
 - a company that no longer exists!
 Been in my stash for a
VERY LONG time.
 
Just goes to show,
 everything will get used
 - eventually!!!



The gorgeous flowers are from
 Zva Creative
 and the wee punched
 blooms are
 "Geneva Vine" die
 from
 Memory Box.



The title block and watches
 are from
 Bo Bunny's
"Timepiece"
Collection.



The outer clock (black)
and the hinges are
Tim Holtz dies
"Weathered Clock"
and
 "Hardware Findings".



The little red pearls and
 black lace are from
 Kaiser.



The photo mat is punched with
 Martha Stewart PATP
 "Deco Fans".




You must have a play with
this gorgeous palette,
such rich autumnal
 colours.
 
Can you resist?
 
Just remember to start with a
 black background.

Now, to my card for this
month's palette.
 
Black cardstock from
American Crafts.
 
Pomegranate cardstock from
Bazzill.



The gorgeous die-cut corners
 are from
 Spellbinders
 "Filigree Corners"
 by
 Becca Feeken
 for
 Justrite.



Live your dreams is by
 Kaiser
 "Flora Delight"
 stamped onto a
"Fleur De Lis Rectangle"
 from
 Spellbinders.



The black oval frame is also
 Spellbinders
 "Floral Ovals"



The stunning image is from a
Dutch company called
 JeJe Produkt
 "Fantasy Fairies".
 
Pre-coloured.
 Just the way I like them....lol.
 
I have cut up a second image
 to do a wee bit of
 decoupage.



Red and black pearls from Kaiser.
 
Black organza ribbon,
stick pins, wee rose
from stash.


This was a beautiful
 colour palette
 to work with.
 
Can't wait to see what you all
 come up with.
 
See you over at
 
Hugs
