This week we were given a challenge on the Crafting While We Can DT team of working with 3 "colors": Black, White, and 1 Color---I chose
YELLOW. You can figure out why I picked yellow--It's the FIREFLIES <<grins>>, and that's the name of this image by Star Stampz. She's always been a great Sponsor for us-neat images, so check out her Etsy site.
Instead of just leaving the background white, I chose several shades of grays and black to create the night sky, her dress, the ground and grass, and her hair. Then to make the Fireflies stand out more, I used Copic FYG1 and they just glow! I LOVE macro dot papers so found one that was appropriate to use and mounted that to a cheery textured yellow/white polkadot paper. I used a sentiment from KKS stamped with white ink on black cardstock and topped off with yellow epoxy dots. The black and white narrow checked ribbon is a pretty accent, don't you think? On the inside I used the yellow dotted paper to brighten it and a rubber stamp from my stash with "Best Wishes". We would love to have you join us over at Crafting When We Can-great opportunity to get a prize! We'll be looking for you!

Wow... that would be a hard challenge and would likely throw me into a major tizzy. I do admire how you 'rose to the challenge' because this card is gorgeous and so striking.
