Beautiful Black & “Gold?”

While taking a turn away from the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper Pack, with the fun pops of vibrant color, I went classy instead. And nothing is more sophisticated than black!

Of course, I needed another color for my Beautiful Balloons Celebration Card besides Black. And it’s true that while everything matches black, it takes the right color to look perfect next to it…especially when it comes to card making.

Most Un-Liked 2023-2025 In Color of the Year

Based on all the grumbles over this new 2023-2025 In Color, Wild Wheat, it is not very popular at all. Very few crafters are happy with this unusual color.

I am hereby dubbing Wild Wheat as “Fool’s Gold”. Next to the color black on my card it takes on a golden tone. And this is perfect for an elegant and regal card!

Gold Celebration Specialty Paper

Another fun element to my Beautiful Balloons Celebration Card is the Gold Celebration Specialty Paper. It is very similar to the acetate window sheets, but with fancy gold accents. It gave my die-cut balloons an interesting dimension.

During my live cardmaking demonstration (click here to see it), I shared that the backside of each gold accent is a sweet silvery-white accent. I think you could really use either side of this specialty paper if you wanted to!
