Creative Card Crew #15 - Black and One other colour!

Over at Creative Card Crew, the challenge this week is to create a card with the colour Black and only ONE other colour (with the exception of skin tones!)

Sooooooo.. What a challenge. It really made me sit and think for a while as I didnt know how I was going to create it, but here it is!

Using one of the Gorjuss Girls that I've not used in a couple of weeks, I decided to colour her in with my Copics and using only two colours and using them to shade - Aqua and Black (with the Blender Pen which doesnt really count if you know what I mean hehe).
I coloured the little fox in with black and then blended him out with the blender pen as I did for the hair - What an effort it was for the hair - It worked out well tho :)

Backing paper from Donna at Bearly Mine Designs - Designer Extreme Vol II CD - Packed full of colours for every crafting need! And I mean Every need!

Here is an up close pic of her, I think she looks stunning in these colours. I could have had an Aqua Fox, he nearly ended up White, but as white wasnt allowed, I had to go for the black look!
Here is an up close of the other Gorjuss Girl I used for the inside of the card. I coloured her the same way! Highlighting with the Inkssential pen!
Here is the Insert - Brilliant inserts easily printed off from the CD created by Donna over at Bearly Mine Designs - it is named Designer Inserts Extreme and I just love using them! So much to choose from!
The flowers are from my punch and the little gems are from my stash.

I kept the card simple, but I think it looks elegant, even if I do say so myself!

Thank you for looking and taking time to leave a comment if you so wish!

Wowzers Kim, your card is awesome. I love these gorjuss girls and you have coloured both to perfection - ooh it would be interesting to see what an aqua fox actually looks like! Your card is so beautiful inside too and those cd´s of Donna´s are the best money I have ever spent on crafty goods.

Beautiful - I love that shade of blue! And the inside of your card is as pretty as the outside, I'm afraid I always tend to forget about the inside!
