I tried the black magic for TLC184 challenge. It was fun to try something new! Is this how it is supposed to look? I think it's sorta cute, but I'm not sure if I did it the right way, it just didn't turn out how I was thinking it was supposed to based on the other examples. My white pigment ink didn't dry as bold as I was hoping it would, I suppose it's time to get the snow cap white ink I've heard is good to use.
I used liquid pearls in the centers of the poinsettias.
Sentiment from the level 1 hostess set Best Yet.
Thanks for looking!
I do have a blog, but I didn't showcase this card there. http://clearlydelightful.typepad.com/

Very pretty card!! I love the "base" you made for the vase and bird to sit on. The liquid pearls are a really nice touch!
I used this set for this challenge too... I almost used this stamp, but decided on the sunflower one instead. I love this set!!
